Ahavah

  • Ariela Rozentul: Ahavah

    This play is phenomenal. It kept me in it's grip the entire time. Ahavah is such an amazing exploration of grief and identity, and it felt so real and hit so close to home. Jewish or not, I think that anyone could relate to this beautiful story, and I believe that everyone should have more Ahavah in their lives.

    You'll find love, loss, and a little bit of Jewish mysticism in this sweet 10 minute 2-hander. Easy to produce, hard to forget.

    What an amazing show about loss, acceptance, and love. AHAVAH is love. It’s an examination of grief and self with amazingly witty dialogue and the best type of comedy, truth. There is so much in this short play for the actors, audience, directors. There is little wonder why it’s been so successful. With the world the way it is we need more shows like this. We need more Ahavah.
