Leo is the cantor of a liberal congregation with a female rabbi. This year, his rightwing orthodox family is joining him for the High Holiday weekend. In order to avoid conversations about gender equality and whether a woman should be a Rabbi, he invites his best friends Carl and Evie, who are wrapped up in their own domestic drama. Everyone walks on eggshells to avoid discussing religion, gender issues and Leo’s impending marriage to a woman his mother disapproves of. Meanwhile, his sister has chosen this weekend to explain to her parents why she has never dated a man. And all of these conflicts unfold in the home once owned by the author of The Feminine Mystique, Betty Friedan. The irony is not lost on any of them.

Playwright's Note: This play is based on a real Rosh Hashanah weekend that I spent in the home of the late feminist Betty Friedan, author of The Feminine Mystique.
