Two Jews Walk Into A War...
December 10
New Jersey Repertory Company
179 Broadway
Long Branch
732- 229-3166
www.njrep.org
Hysterically funny and amazingly poignant, this play takes place in a dilapidated old synagogue in Kabul in 2001, during the final days of the Taliban regime. The one thing that binds the Jewish community together is that the last two surviving Jews in all of Afghanistan hate each other. Ishaq and Zeblyan spend their days hurling insults at each other and holding separate religious ceremonies, all the while struggling to recreate the sacred Torah that was destroyed by the Taliban. Inspired by a true story, could it be that the salvation of Afghanistan’s Jewish community is left in the hands of a real-life Middle-Eastern odd couple? Check the website for show times and ticket pricing.
Light Up a Memory

St. Mary’s Church is pleased to announce a beautiful tradition that debuted last year. You are invited to sponsor a light on a special tree in front of the church for a contribution of $10. It can be to honor a living person or in memory of someone deceased. All of the names will be inscribed in the Light Up a Memory book, displayed in the Gathering Space. Cards will be provided to acknowledge the “light recipient.” St. Mary’s choir will perform, and refreshments will be served in the Gathering Space after the tree lighting. These inspiring lights will glow all during the Christmas season through January 6 – the feast of Epiphany, or “Little Christmas.” December 5 is the deadline to reserve a light, so call St. Mary’s or one of the Co-Chairs: Freda O’Doherty (732-577-9541) and Molly Aiello (732-946-7184).
