Sabbath Variations: The Splendor of Space – special guest performance from N.Y
Created by 24/6: A Jewish Theater Company, an artistic home for Shomrei Shabbat Theater Artists New York, NY.
“The meaning of Sabbath is to celebrate time rather than space.” - Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel
A wild and imaginative evening of six short theatrical variations which explore people in confined spaces confronting spirituality as a response to the excess of modern industrial society.
The original short plays are based on the Talmudic story of Shimon Bar-Yochai as recounted and interpreted by Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel in his classic book “The Sabbath: Its Meaning for Modern Man.”

Rachel Channon, Simon Feil, Eliezer Meyer, Roniel Tessler
