Yosl Rakover Talks To God, which is the first-ever one-man drama in Yiddish, features David Mandelbaum as a Warsaw ghetto resistance fighter arguing with God about abandoning his people. The play, which is directed by Amy Coleman, is adapted from a 1946 short story by Broadway and film producer Zvi Kolitz. The story is framed as a written testimony found in the ruins of the ghetto; it was reprinted several times without authorial attribution, and was convincing enough to be taken for authentic.
