The Land is an original, three act play, concerning the past, current and about to be future ( unless something changes quickly ) Israeli/Palestinian conflict. It looks at the catastrophic mistakes of History that have led to the present cycle of violence, through the eyes of two women (Amirah and Tamara) and their families. The first act begins during the Second Intifada and the final act occurs in Gaza during Operation Cast Lead. As this very human drama unfolds, the audience is taken on an often shocking, emotional and provocative journey that climaxes with a surreal but hopeful ending. The setting of The Land is Jerusalem, but the story is about all of us, struggling to co-exist on this fragile planet.

The Feast Of Weeks

Shavuot completes the counting of the omer, or the seven weeks from Passover to Shavuot. The Feast Of Weeks, called Pentecost by the Greeks, celebrates the giving of the Torah, by Moses at Sinai. As we remember the awesome ethical and moral code for living in society, Moses was inspired to gift to his followers, let's not forget that the Mystics tell us, that Seven Noahide Laws were given to all of humanity at that time. As we Jews celebrate our Teacher of Blessed Memory, let's recall the most important commandment of all. Love Thy Neighbor. Please help us get the Truth out about the terrible injustice in The Land!
