Together we will read, analyze and discuss memorable plays by Jewish playwrights from the beginning of the 20th century and until today. Some of them became world famous and some remain less known, but each offers an intriguing point of view and artistic perspective on Jewish and non-jewish life, in Europe, America and Israel.
