From audience members in NYC:

A heartwarming and fun musical. Songs are great, cast is great, chracters are memorable. I love it!

 

The Gefilte Fish Chronicles put me back in Ellenville. What a pleasant dream. I felt that I was part of the Dubroff family. Music was delightful, and the show, a delight!!!

 

From a cast member in Montreal:

What a pleasure it was to meet you and David. And what a wonderful show you've cooked up.I do workshops like these quite often, but this one was so short and intense that I will always remember this experience fondly.Having read the play and participated in the rehearsals, I was quite unprepared for the emotional wallop it delivers, Take it from a veteran of the acting wars, there was something magical going on that morning, something very special.

 

 

Gefilte Fish for Christmas!

My Polish Catholic family ate Gefilte fish on Christmas Eve. My babcia, a solid peasant woman, would make it with the help of her four daughters beginning a few days before. It was her signature dish and always served with fresh horseradish and rye bread. I remember going with Babcia to the fish mongers in N.Y.City and watching her argue with them, in her preferred Polish, the finer points of fish freshness. As far as I knew, the family always ate gefilte fish on Christmas Eve since forever. So, the old wheeze, "You don't have to be Jewish" really has legs in my family. An ethnographer would love this story of crossed traditions.

Thank you!!!!

Thank you, all of you, for bringing me back 60+ years to my father's family (especially my Aunt Dottie). I had all but forgotten some of those Friday night dinners in Brooklyn at my grandparents' home...

God Bless You All!

My grandfather Sam ground Horseradish (Chrain) for his south Philadelphia neighborhood for decades until he retired. Then he taught me and I ground Horseradish for my extended family and friends until everybody moved away to different states. Watching your video made me cry, your Seder was so wonderful. God bless you all!

Loved the Show!

I watched The Gefilte Fish Chronicles today (23 Mar) for the first time and I was so moved by the joy, the family togetherness and the love throughout. I laughed and cried it moved me so. I never experienced a Seder with family but I intend to start doing this with my own son and his fiancee G*d in Heaven willing, this year.Thank you so very much for the blessing your show and family has given me.Shalom,

SO HEARTWARMING!! HOW WONDERFUL!

I'm not Jewish, but it brought home the same message - family is all. I loved the personalities of all the sisters. When the show ended, I didn't want them to leave........
