Night of the Living Variety Show: Black History Special
The Israeli Opera’s Mothers
Our founding matriarchs have long taken back seats to their husbands. In the Bible, we learn a few names, but we hear nothing about how Sarah felt when Abraham offered to sacrifice Isaac without consulting her, about the pain of sisters Rachel and Leah over being married to the same man, Jacob, or about the scores of nameless women who raised the children, fought in battles and helped write Jewish history.
Now, the Israeli Opera has flipped the script, telling the Genesis stories from the point of view of women, giving voice not only to Sarah, Rachel and Leah but to biblical females unseen.
Following the success of our recent performance of The Israeli Opera’s Theodor, The Temple Emanu-El Streicker Cultural Center is proud to welcome the creator and principal performers of Mothers:
Anat Czarny as Hagar and Leah
Daniela Sklorka as Rebecca and Rachel
Shay Block as Sarah
Yael Levita as God’s voice
David Sebba, Librettist, Composer and Musical Director
Shirit Lee Weiss, Stage Director

Through this moving and imaginative production, audiences are taken inside the heart and mind of a man who inspired millions, exploring his fears, faith, and ultimate sacrifice for freedom.
