Israeli Americans share their stories of longing, loss and love in the Diaspora.
About this event
What becomes of the Jewish soul caught between the American Dream and the Promised Land? America is a place of new opportunities, but for immigrants from Israel and their families, the story is more complicated ... and a rich source of dramatic potential. From uproarious tales of culture shock to the heartache of longing for family across the ocean, this community has many stories to share with the world. The Braid, the go-to Jewish story company, brings a curated collection of them to life using its signature Salon theatre. Professional actors perform these authentic and true tales in the world premiere of Star-Spangled Sabra. It illuminates a unique chapter in Jewish history: no longer the Wandering Jew but the wandering heart.
Through its performances and programming, The Braid empowers artists and audiences to feel pride in Jewish culture while building community and connection between people of all backgrounds. Founded in Santa Monica, California, in 2007, The Braid has affiliates in three cities and counting, holds tours across the country, and is accessible globally via various online platforms.
The Braid's Vision: To leave no Jewish story untold while celebrating the truths that connect us all.
The Braid's Mission: To create, produce and preserve diverse, living Jewish stories that empower individuals, inspire community and build cultural legacy.
