I LOVED every minute of it. Profoundly deep and touching. Would love to see it over an over; it deserves a big stage. A must see for everyone, no matter of age and religion. And you get a piece of the best chocolate cake on Earth at the end! (Seriously.)... full review

Piggyback shocks are a type of air shock that feature an additional chamber for increased oil and gas volume. This design provides more consistent performance on long descents and rough terrain. <a href="https://shocksguide.com/best-rear-shocks-for-harley-davidson-touring/">my site</a>... full review

This deeply moving and incredibly personal family story spoke directly to me since I am also a descendant of European European Jews who fled their homes in Poland and Russia and made their way to America to be sure their children and future generations would survive and have a better life.

I think it would be a misconception to claim that Moti (and the audience, through him) comes to peace with a history that can never really... full review

A creative tapestry of stories skillfully weaving together personal and world history over past and present. Moti's impressive display of many talents, from singing to baking for the audience while storytelling is a lively and entertaining way to bring his grandma's life of love, resilience, and playfulness to light as an inspiring gift to us all. ... full review
