The two are children of survivors and their show, a parody of what has become known as “Shoah Business”, the circuit of speakers and seminars that feed American Jews continuing hunger for the Holocaust This daring new theatrical performance uses gallows humor to look at the Jewish need for the Shoah as definer of identity.

Lisa Lipkin is a professional storyteller, educator, and writer whose work has appeared in The New York Times Magazine, the New Yorker, and in her monthly column for The Forward.

Rabbi Moshe Waldoks is a Boston area, post-denominational rabbi, best known as the co-editor of The Big Book of Jewish Humor, now in its twentieth printing. He is a widely acclaimed humorist and lecturer, and one of the featured subjects of the book The Jew and The Lotus.

freezing us in some past tableau....”
