In Twist of Faith, a wealthy young stock trader totally indifferent to his Jewish heritage is 'forced' to spend a Sabbath in the religious Jewish section of Boro Park, Brooklyn. During this experience, Sam forms an unexpected bond with Baruch, the nervous young Orthodox Jew who - soon after his encounter with Sam - has his faith crushed after a series of life-altering events. While Sam strives to create a new life of strict religious observance and comes to embrace the very faith which Baruch seems to be leaving behind, the friends courageously search for the meaning of existence.
For nine months in 2001, Twist of Faith ran Off-Broadway in New York City after touring the United States and Canada from 1998 to 2000, visiting over 100 venues for audiences ranging from 100-800 per show. Its sequels, Second Chances and Destinations, both premiered at Manhattan's landmark Theater For The New City and subsequently enjoyed their own national tours. The long-running NY comedy, A Match Made In Manhattan: The Interactive Jewish Wedding Experience was inspired by the characters in the trilogy.
