Women's Minyan
Her crime was not that she escaped the horror of abuse.
Her crime was that she broke the silence.
A Concert Reading of Naomi Ragen's Israeli Play.
Based on a True Story. Chana flees her ultra-orthodox community, taking with her a life of painful secrets. Two years later, armed with a secular court order, she returns with the hope of seeing her children who have been hidden from her. Now she must face a higher court of judgment:
her family and friends.
