About This Show

The two act plays include Daughter of My People which examines the life of Henrietta Szold, the founder of Hadassah. This is the story of a woman, an older woman deeply in love for the first time, with a much younger man. This is her journey through the awakening of her womanhood and her womanliness in a time when women were not allowed to be productive parts of society. It is the story of the Jewish state of Israel.

The second, Jihad, examines the Israeli-Palestinian conflict from the stories of two mothers, one living in an Israeli settlement and the other in a Palestinian area. This is set in the present day in the Middle East, a land where nothing changes yet nothing stays the same.
