Gandhi and the Jew

Drawn from years of research, multiple journeys to South Africa, and hundreds of unpublished letters, Gandhi and the Jew uncovers an unlikely and profound bond between Mahatma Gandhi and Hermann Kallenbach, a Jewish architect shaped by exile and persecution. Together, they help invent the philosophy of nonviolence. But as history darkens and the fate of European Jews becomes urgent, their shared ideals fracture, setting them on a collision course over the future of a Jewish state. This is the story of a friendship that changed the world, and the conflict that nearly broke it.

A new play written by Harley Elias, commissioned and developed by Miami New Drama. Directed by Margot Bordelon, the two-person play stars Keshav Moodliar as Gandhi and Max Katz as Kallenbach.
