#TheaterBSKY check out this review from @sarahjaeleiber.bsky.social and then see this extraordinary play!!

Jewish Women's Archive @jwaonline.bsky.social · 20d

"In this play, men are a non-entity—a taste of their own medicine with regard to the way matriarchs are sidelined in the Torah."

A TheaterLab through Sep 28, The Matriarchs imagines a matriarchal Judaism:

"The Matriarchs" Review | Jewish Women's Archive

The Matriarchs imagines a universe where life’s unfairest moments can be made more tolerable through friendship, conversation, and understanding.

"In less than 20 minutes, The Matriarchs asks an inflammatory question: Can you compare King David to Hitler? The question is almost heretical — but that’s what makes it so Jewish." 🧵

A new play asks: What if the biblical matriarchs lived today?

‘The Matriarchs’ challenges audiences to accept life’s uncertainties — and imagines what Leah and Rebecca would’ve studied in college.

No Hope, No Safety, Just Bombs 💔
My family in Gaza is trapped in a nightmare—bombs keep falling, food is gone, water is undrinkable, and there’s no way out.
They have lost everything, and now, I am losing hope.
🙏 if you can, donate. Even small donations can help keep them alive.
