Shabbat Club
Shabbat, Sep 13th 12:30p to 2:00pDavid Schechter, a multi-talented theater artist whose shows have been seen On and Off Broadway, nationally and internationally, will be our Shabbat Club guest. David will do a dramatic reading of the short story, "Gimpel the Fool" by Isaac Bashevis Singer. There will be time after his reading for comments and questions. Many of David's shows have been Jewish themed, including "Soul Doctor" on Broadway and "Hannah Senesh", which the National Yiddish Theatre Folksbiene is reviving (in English) Off Broadway this October. His adaptation of Singer's signature story "Gimpel the Fool" garnered Singer's personal endorsement. David has appeared on Broadway in Elizabeth Swados' "Runaways" and in "The Threepenny Opera" starring Sting. We will meet in the second floor reception room with refreshments as usual. All are welcome! If you have suggestions for future meeting topics or speakers please contact Deborah Newman debd.newman@gmail.com
