ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THIS PERFORMANCE
The aging Mendel knows he is going to die,
but seeks to provide for his retarded son Itzak
by sending him to his uncle in California.
He needs $35 for the train ticket.
No one will help Mendel and Itzak
except a poor rabbi who gives him a fur coat–
over the objections of Ruchel, the rabbi’s wife
Even then, Mendel must overcome the final obstacle at the train gate:
Ginzburg, the Angel of Death. Somehow, he does.
Mendel kisses his son goodbye.
