Beth Am Presents the Play ‘Heschel’s Passover Eve’ on Nov. 30
November 30, 2023 @ 6:30 pm - 10:00 pm
Reservoir Hill’s Beth Am Congregation will present the play “Heschel’s Passover Eve” on Thursday, Nov. 30, in the synagogue’s main sanctuary. Doors open at 6:45 p.m. and the show starts at 7:15. Beth Am is located at 2501 Eutaw Place.
In this 45-minute solo performance, Rabbi Dr. Abraham Joshua Heschel, the great Jewish theologian/philosopher/activist, is presented a few days before the seder in April of 1968 to which he invited his dear friend, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Written by Eran Shavit, the play explores such themes as the struggle for human rights, social activism, the relevance of Jewish tradition, Zionism and Jewish peoplehood.
“Heschel’s Passover Eve” is directed by Yoni Eilat, with music by Alon Azizi. Eric Berger stars as Heschel.
