How ironic that the Women’s Performance Community of Jerusalem has chosen this time to present a new and exciting historical musical, “Whisper Freedom: The Soviet Jewry Struggle.”
This epic musical for women only depicts how the Soviet Jews were rediscovering their Jewish identity and desiring to move to Israel. The KGB and Soviet regime rejected applications for exit visas to Israel.
This musical also honors the refuseniks and their supporters who joined them with “Let my people go.”

The Women’s Performance Community of Jerusalem, founded by four English-speaking women in 2016, returned to the stage after a two-year pause for the pandemic, in conjunction with the OU Israel, the Orthodox Union’s branch in Israel.
The Performance company provides an outlet for women who want to express themselves with other women for an all-female audience.
This is the fourth historical musical written by two of the group. The play, with a cast of 60-70, is set in Moscow of the 1970s and depicts, in a musical style, the struggle to free the Soviet Jews.

The story revolves around Elena Ivanova, a Moscow stage star who conceals her Jewish identity.
Her sister Sofia, a refusenik, turns up in Moscow to plead for her freedom, but Elena is arrested and imprisoned in Siberia while Sofia rallies the cast and audience on behalf of her sister.
At one point in the second act, the audience is asked to join the actresses and hold up a sign in their program, “Free Elena now from Siberia.”
Several performances are being given during March. Proceeds will fund an OU Israel Center initiative for at-risk teens.

Thank you for choosing TheJ.Ca as your source for Canadian Jewish News.
We do news differently!
Our positioning as a Zionist News Media platform sets us apart from the rest. While other Canadian Jewish media are advocating increasingly biased progressive political and social agendas, TheJ.Ca is providing more and more readers with a welcome alternative and an ideological home.
We revealed the incursion of anti-Israel progressive elements such as IfNotNow into our communities. We have exposed the distorted hateful agenda of the “progressive” left political radicals who brought Linda Sarsour to our cities, and we were first to report on many disturbing incidents of Nazi-based hate towards Jews across Canada.
But we can’t do it alone. We need your HELP!
Our ability to thrive and grow in 2020 and beyond depends on the generosity of committed readers and supporters like you.
Monthly support is a great way to help us sustain our operations. We greatly appreciate any contributions you can make to support Jewish Journalism.
