Event Details

Description

Experience Jewish storytelling theatre by professional actors performing true stories of antisemitism and the strength to stand against it. One hilarious story comes from Emmy-winning comedian and Off-Broadway star Monica Piper, who discovers the man she’s married to has no clue about her Jewish identity. A riveting yarn of twists and turns by Rob Eshman, former national editor of The Forward, describes an encounter with a Nazi in a hotel hot tub at a Jewish convention. Esther Amini, acclaimed memoirist of Concealed, starkly reveals a life of persecution in Iran and the astonishing challenges she faced from fellow Jews in America. Among other powerful stories included: a Black Jewish college student barraged by campus antisemitism, reactions to the atrocities of Oct. 7, and the sweet saga of a non-Jewish woman who devotes her life to helping Jews in the hospital.

Join us immediately after Shabbat services for this unique live performance from The Braid, the go-to Jewish story company and leading non-profit organization creating, curating, producing and preserving stories grounded in Jewish culture and experience. Through its performances and programming, The Braid empowers artists and audiences to feel pride in Jewish culture while building community and connection between people of all backgrounds.

Refreshments available for purchase at the Top Nosh Cafe before showtime.
