Broadway performers and Jewish artists will come together for a special one-night-only benefit event, Finding Their Voice: Broadway Stars Unite to Support Israel’s Youth, on Monday, June 15, at 7 p.m. at the Jerry Orbach Theater.

Organizers said the event aims to create a space where Jewish culture, creativity and connections to Israel can be expressed openly through music and performance at a time when some members of the Jewish community report feeling increasingly isolated in cultural and artistic spaces.

The event will also honor acclaimed actress and advocate Tovah Feldshuh with the Spirit of Israel Award for her contributions to storytelling, cultural leadership and advocacy on behalf of the Jewish community.

Produced by Jen Sandler, with musical direction by Joshua Turchin, the performance will feature music from Jewish-themed productions as well as works by Jewish composers and creators.

Featured performers and special guests include:

  • Tovah Feldshuh (Pippin, Funny Girl, Nobody Wants This)
  • Steven Skybell (Wicked, Fiddler on the Roof)
  • Zal Owen (Harmony, The Band’s Visit)
  • Romy Fay (Leopoldstadt)
  • Ariella Serur (1776)
  • Loren Lester (Cabaret)
  • Kelly Lester (Milk and Honey OB)
  • Ari Axelrod (A Place for Us: A Celebration of Jewish Broadway OB)
  • Neva Small (The Impossible Years, the 1971 film adaptation of Fiddler on the Roof)

Hosted by Jenny Anne Hochberg (October 7 OB).

Gerard Filitti, of the Lawfare Project, told JNS that “lax immigration policy” has always been the main driver of importing “terrorist ideology” into the United States.
“The teachers we have, we don’t respect and support in the way that they deserve,” Paul Bernstein told JNS. “If we’re successful and we grow enrollment, that problem only gets bigger.”
“The message being sent is that you can get away with attacking someone in broad daylight because you disagree with their opinions, especially if it involves feelings about Israel,” Joshua Burt, of the Anti-Defamation League, told JNS.
“Not identifying Hamas as a terrorist organization is, I think, a failure, Marc Miller told the Canadian Press. “And not clearly stating that, for example, Hamas intended to kill Jews is, I think, an unfortunate error in curation and should be rectified.”
