Jewish actors

It was there where Wallenberg first came in contact with the Jewish race. The persecution they faced everyday “affected him deeply” (“Raoul Wallenberg 2”). Although rightfully sympathetic, Raoul subsequently moved back to Sweden to rekindle his aspiration for business in his home country. Eventually, Raoul met a Hungarian…

their lives. Tobi discussed when she had moved to Fontana in hopes of her husband finding a job and how she was frightened in the beginning because there were not jewish people around. Tobi specifically recalls seeing a man come up to her house and said, “Oh my gosh I got scared to death who knows what this man is going to do to us a Jewish family” (Abelsky, segment 20). Even after leaving the imminent danger she still constantly feared because the label her religion ensued on her and their…

period but rather it encompasses the first half of Von Rezzori’s life, from his childhood in the early 20th century to his eventual emigration to the United States after World War 2. The topics that appear in this article abstain from dwelling on Jewish stereotypes or fervent nationalism, instead it focuses more on the human and emotional side of Anti-Semitism. Page after page it becomes clear that von Rezzori’s view of Jews stems more from his environment than from his own internal feelings. He…

“Despite everything, I believe people are really good at heart.” These are words spoken by Anne Frank a famous Jewish girl during a very tragic time. This tragic time was known as the Holocaust, a horrific time in our history where millions of people were murdered. Anne did not survive this event but yet she still believes people are good at heart. Most people would say that there is evil hidden in our hearts, but I disagree. I believe that people are truly good at heart. I believe that people…

Shabbat Shalom! This was the introduction that I received when I entered a Jewish synagogue. When entering the synagogue it reminded of entering a typical church, there were pews and at the very front was a large stage. On the stage was a keyboard, a wooden podium with a blue cloth over it. Also there was a wooden ark behind the podium and if you opened up the ark you would see where the Torah was stored. An interesting fact about the placement of the ark is it is facing were Jerusalem is…

A synagogue is a house of Yahweh, a place to feel His presence, worship and joins a community of believers in prayer. Behavior in a synagogue should be appropriately respectful. Since the synagogue is considered a house of Yahweh, it is usually appropriate to wear nice clothes. So, for the Shabbat service, I wore slacks, long sleeve dress shirt, and tie. The outside of the synagogue was modest and beautiful. Upon entering the synagogue, you arrive in a beautifully decorated gathering area. The…

production made use of only two actors, and as there are significantly more characters in the story than just two, I was intrigued and excited to see how this had been done. Herford had commissioned Mallatratt to write a Christmas show, but since he had a very limited budget, it being the end of the season, he told Mallatratt that he “can’t afford to have more than four actors or elaborate sets”. By making the audience feel as though the theatre was empty but for the two actors, Mallatratt…

When discussing the content of the theater, I like seeing themes that explore overcoming some type of struggle or just wanting to be loved. The characters I like to see is people who actually show deep emotion in who they are playing. I like for the actors to actually fulfill the characters actions and rolls making me feel as if I have the same feelings he or she is portraying in the play. The plots that interest me during a play is actually seeing a character try over and over…

that most who are in the theatre did join for this very reason, there are some points where the similarities of watching and participating detour into major differences. I preface this with a brief glimpse into my background. First off, I was not an actor. I loved the theatre very much and wanted to become a part of it, however I was not one for being on stage performing. The technical department was the next logical choice so I joined to operate the sound and lighting. I bring this up only so…

overcome my weaknesses. Along with that, I really want to try out some serious roles with some serious characters talking about serious topics, that is a line that I haven’t crossed yet that I am looking forward to cross. Along with any progressing actor, I have strengths as well as my share of weaknesses. One of my biggest weakness that I very recently realized I had was that I am afraid to make mistakes. That in itself isn’t the weakness I was referring to, but that fear has led me to be…
