A beautifully crafted play about faith, in this case through the perspective of Judaism, and its role in how we deal with grief. Ruth, a rabbi, has lost her faith after a horrific tragedy. Ben, a former shoe salesman/manufacturer, is searching for something in the faith he has never truly known. Wendy Graf seamlessly weaves together humor, drama, and religious rituals into a story that wraps us up and provides comfort as if she were giving us our own prayer shawl. Lovely.
