Coming to America from across the globe, we are one Jewish spirit. Experience a dozen true, contemporary Jewish immigrant stories performed by professional actors that explore leaving one's home for a new nation.
Acclaimed memoirist and novelist André Aciman reveals the ironic pain of celebrating a seder while he and his family are being forced out of their home in Egypt. An American adoptee from China discovers surprising inspiration in a nearby bridge that connects her own story with that of her Jewish grandparents from the Balkans. In a hilarious tale, two Chilean parents struggle to learn strange, new Jewish customs when their daughter marries an Ashkenazi American man. And a Ukrainian woman feels the comfort of Jewish tradition as echoes of her family home still reverberate in her soul.
Enjoy these plus many other stories of deep yearning and bold dreams.
