Drama Presentation At Congregation Beth Shalom
Please join Congregation Beth Shalom Players, the temple’s theater troupe, for an emotional and uplifting live dramatic presentation, Windows (PG), which will precede the traditional service of Selichot on Saturday, September 8, at 7:30 p.m. at the temple, located at 706 Bryan Rd., in Brandon.
This Selichot service takes place the week before Rosh Hashanah. This original work, written by congregant Anna Brubaker, will take the audience into the lives of a small group of friends and relatives working though issues that everyone can relate to: loss, love, guilt, second chances, blame and most of all, forgiveness. Realistic without being depressing, the play contains some mild sexual references and mature language; it is not intended for younger children, hence its ‘’PG’’ rating.
After the play is presented, Rabbi Torop will lead an interactive discussion based upon the themes and issued presented in Windows. Audience members are invited to bring dairy desserts to share between the end of the discussion and the start of the Selichot service, which includes some traditional prayers and melodies associated with the High Holy Days and concludes with the blowing of the Shofar.
There is no charge to attend . For more infomrmation, call the temple office at 681-6547
