Ladies’ Night
The newly formed Professional Women’s Theatre presents its debut production, “Shir La Maalote — Elevating the World Through Song and Dance.” The group was created to increase opportunities for Torah-observant women entertainers wishing to perform halachically. The production, which is by women and for women only, is made up of dancers and a diverse line-up of singers who perform in several styles, including opera, Broadway, pop, niggunim (wordless melodies) and tefillot (prayer).
PWT was founded by Adena Kozak. Miriam Leha Droz produced the upcoming show.

Hello, fellow Forward reader! I’m Joel Brown, a Forward reader and supporter for more than 15 years, and currently the chair of the board of directors.
I’m an avid Forward reader because it ticks so many of my essential boxes: excellent journalism, Jewish focus and diverse viewpoints. In today’s political climate, what I most appreciate is the Forward’s independence — made possible by the generosity of its membership.
The Forward is committed to bringing you unbiased, nuanced Jewish news. From my position as board chair, I see an exciting future as we expand our position as the definitive independent voice of contemporary American Judaism.
— Joel Brown, Forward board chair
