“Seven Jewish Children”

a play followed by discussion, also special music and photo display

 “Seven Jewish Children: A Play for Gaza is a controversial 10-minute play by British playwright Caryl Churchill, written in response to the 2008-2009 Israel military strike on Gaza. Churchill allows gratis production of the play so long as collection for the people of Gaza is held.  The play consists of seven scenes spread over roughly seventy years, in which Jewish adults discuss what, or whether, their children should be told about certain events in recent Jewish history that the play alludes to only indirectly, such as: The Holocaust, Jewish immigration to Palestine, the creation of Israel, the flight or expulsion of Palestinian Arabs, the 1948 Arab-Israeli War, the dispute over water, the First Intifada, the building of the West Bank barrier, and Palestinian suicide attacks.
