Reviews Are In for Broward Stage Door Theatre's GOD OF ISAAC
Every ethnicity, nationality and religion prizes its heritage, but Jews put a special value on honoring a direct bond with their forebears stretching across 6,000 years. That cornerstone of Passover also underlies James Sherman's 1985 comic drama The God of Isaac, enjoying an enthusiastic and effective revival at Broward Stage Door. But the search for roots - regardless of our background - makes the show easily relatable to anyone living in this nation of immigrants.

IndieGo Publishing to Release 'Courage of the Spirit' by Rabbi Norbert Weinberg
IndieGo Publishing will release the book 'Courage of the Spirit' (paperback ISBN 978-0-9846685-6-4; ebook ISBN 978-0-9887048-9-3) in April 2014 in time for the 75th anniversary of the Warsaw Uprising. This book tells the story of Rabbi Dr. William Weinberg, who became the first State Rabbi of the community of Holocaust survivors in the German State of Hesse. Rabbi Weinberg's saga serves as a tour of the ideologies and principles of the contemporary world, but it also encompasses the movements that shape Judaism today: Orthodox, Reform, and Conservative, as well as political Zionism. It is a story that spans thousands of physical miles, by freight train and on foot, from the Galician Shtetl to cosmopolitan Vienna and Berlin, and to Stalingrad and central Asia and back as Rabbi Weinberg kept one step ahead of the Nazi armies. It is a story that spans the mental and emotional journey from the medieval Shtetl, the great empires, and the weak democracies and totalitarian regimes that followed, and finally, to freedom. Along the way, we meet significant figures in Rabbi Weinberg's life: Martin Buber and Mannes Sperber, the founders of Israel's Marxist-Socialist party, Rabbi Leo Baeck, and Albert Einstein. We are shown a window into life in a Nazi prison and concentration camp, the day-to-day life of Jews in Nazi Berlin, and the vagaries of survival under Stalin's totalitarian shelter. 'This book reconstructs these events from conversations with my father, from family notes, and from historical documentation,' says the author, Rabbi Norbert Weinberg. Courage of the Spirit is the first part of a trilogy. The second part will follow the account of Irene Gottdenker, the author's mother, who openly survived the Holocaust in the guise of a Pole of German descent and witnessed the destruction of the Jews in Lwow and Warsaw. The third part will examine the rebirth of Jewish life in the refugee camps in Austria and then in the city of Frankfurt, Germany, and the environs. IndieGo Publishing is an independent publishing firm that believes in supporting authors as the world's primary source in promoting freedom of expression through the written word. Retailers may order 'Courage of the Spirit' through Lightning Source/Ingram when the book is released April. 2014 in honor of the 75th anniversary of the Warsaw Uprising.

SCR Announces Summer Events
A carnival midway of magic, mischief and theatrical thrills! Amanda Dehnert, celebrated throughout the American theatre for re-imagining classics, has added a multitude of visual delights and fantastical illusions to the original charm and beautiful ballads (like the haunting "Try to Remember") of The Fantasticks. When two scheming fathers conspire with the mysterious El Gallo to keep their daughter and son apart (to be sure they'll fall in love!) the dewy-eyed lovers venture into the real world. But as fantasy turns to reality, El Gallo is there to remind them that "without the hurt, the heart is hollow" in one of the most popular musicals of all time, which the Washington Postcalls, "Fresh and alive again."
