Rabbi Efrat Zarren-Zohar (2nd from right) and playwright S. Asher Gelman (right) with cast members of The Zionists: A Family Storm at the post-performance talkback, April 19, 2026.
In my opinion, and based on the reviews, the playwright for The Zionists: A Family Storm, S. Asher Gelman, has written a brilliant and intensely engaging show that is one of the best presentations of what’s happening in our families and communities around the topic of Israel. Have you seen the show? Let me know what you think: EfratZarren-Zohar@caje-miami.org.
He was kind enough grant me an interview and in 13 quick minutes, gives us a window into his motivations for writing the play, what he hopes it will accomplish and how painful it is to be a progressive Zionist today.
Dr. Bella Tendler Krieger, CAJE’s Director of Adult Learning and Growth, sat down for a post-performance talkback on April 12th with Miami New Drama's Artistic Director Michel Hausmann and S. Asher Gelman. You can watch their exchange on YouTube to learn more about the impact of this work.
Bella will be doing another talkback with the cast and the artistic director on Thursday night, May 7th and the play overall runs through May 10th at the Colony Theater on Lincoln Road.
