True Chutzpa – The Good, the Bad, and Esther: An Epic Purim Western
Purim historically includes a Shpiel (play). Our Shpiel is a farcical review and includes the Purim story and current happenings. (Guess which is the farce.) Spend an evening with friends, a broasted chicken and Italian beef dinner and if you have no excuse, the Shpiel. No tickets at the door. Space is as limited as the Chicago mayoral race; so be sure to send your check today! Sign up for a delicious dinner of broasted chicken and Italian beef and an amazing show.
Consider becoming an Angel! Please become a proud investor of this production with a
check for $60 as a Golem or $110 as an Angel. Golems and Angels get free tickets!
No tickets at the door! Only pre-sale!
93Queen
TBI and Sisterhood TBI partners with other organizations across Chicagoland to host one of two local showings in Skokie of 93Queen. The showing is on Monday, April 1, 2019 at 7:00pm. No reservations needed.
A co-production with American Documentary POV, INDEPENDENT TELEVISION SERVICE (ITVS), and SWR in collaboration with ARTE, 93QUEEN follows RACHEL “RUCHIE” FREIER, a no-nonsense Hasidic lawyer and mother of six who is determined to shake up the “boys club” in her Hasidic community by creating Ezras Nashim, the first all-female ambulance corps in NYC.
#JewishGivingforJewishLiving
TBI members and Friends of TBI made the holidays a little brighter for the kids at Herzl school. Channel 7 was there to film.
