(Best Play Award, 2006) A romantic comedy about Sephardi-Jewish parents from Jerusalem whose only daughter runs away from home to live on a kibbutz with a secular man. With a comic, generous and hope-filled spirit, the play sketches the life of young Israelis under the shadow of terrifying social rifts – the ethnic rift between Sephardi and Ashkenazi Jews and the religious rift between religious and secular Jews – and enables the audience to discover the possibilities embodied in a future that transcends these rifts. Performed in Manila, the Philippines 2009, Denver USA 2011, Washington DC, USA 2012
