kaddish (how to be a sanctuary)
Wednesday, July 16

Sam and his dead grandpa have a conversation about everything from resisting fascism (in the US, in Europe, and in Palestine) to growing up with mobsters – all with the help of a mystical creature from Yiddish folklore. Developed from the private journals of Saul N. Sherman, a Jewish WWII veteran, blended with the writings from his grandson, Sam Sherman ""kaddish (how to be a sanctuary)"" explores what our ancestors can teach us about the messy path towards standing up for what is right.

Part of EdFest, a festival of NYC Edinburgh Fringe previews produced by Jess Ducey, with technical director Jen Leno. Catch this and 11 other shows before they head to Scotland.
