A jump through memory reveals Chava, the child of a dynastic Hasidic rabbinical family whose recently disclosed trans identity finds three rabbis fighting to save a family by building a bridge between orthodoxy and modernity, unraveling truths and secrets in a way that ensures no one will read the old stories the same way again. Emil Weinstein’s acclaimed play explores the relationship between theology and humanity, asking questions that honor the timelessness of old texts and the opportunity to forge new paths of understanding, identity, and community.
