What TORCH SONG’s about:
Arnold Beckoff is a drag queen in NYC. What does he want in life? Happiness! A husband, a child, and respect from his Jewish mother! Taking place in the 1970/80s, the award-winning comedy Torch Song Trilogy helped set the stage for the emergence of LGBTQIA+ rights and the fight for human dignity. Updated by the playwright in 2017, with tenderness and great humor, Torch Song reminds us how fragile those rights remain.
- Torch Song runs May 4-19, 2024.
- Group Discounted Rates: groups of 10+ receive $4 off the individual ticket price.

Quality Caregiving in the Home
Thursday, May 23, noon to 1:00 p.m. at Sholom
Hear thought-provoking questions that can help you identify quality care, resources and recommendations for in-home caregiving. The definition of quality care is different for everyone and needs to consider the wellbeing, needs and concerns of the caregivers and their ever-changing diagnosis and care receivers.
The events on this calendar are not “Beth Jacob” events, although sometimes they may be co-sponsored by or even hosted at Beth Jacob. Rather, they are events in the larger community of which our members may wish to be aware.
