Description

The Hebrew Lesson by Wolf Mankowitz is a poignant drama set against the backdrop of the 'Troubles' in Ireland. In 1921, an elderly Jew takes in a young man fleeing persecution, and through their unlikely friendship, teaches him about the Jewish faith and way of life. As the two men navigate their precarious situation, they form a bond that transcends their differences. The Jew's efforts to help his guest ultimately lead to a dramatic turn of events, one that will change both their lives forever. This powerful and thought-provoking story explores themes of identity, community, and the human condition, set against the complex historical context of early 20th-century Ireland.
