The Women’s Minyan

Best selling author Naomi Ragen’s play has been running to packed houses in Israel at the Habimah Theater. See it now in NYC for the first time. A spellbinding exploration of religious fundamentalism, The Women’s Minyan is based on a true story winding its way through the Israeli courts. When a highly respected ultra-orthodox rabbi’s wife returns home to see her children after leaving her family two years earlier, her women friends and relatives judge her fitness to do so. Hearing for the first time what led to her divorce, they explore the boundaries between religion and social convention, truth and falsehood and woman’s true place in the religious world.
