NEW YORK—The title of this zany, entertaining show comes from playwright and performer Monica Piper’s early childhood experience of being told by a playmate that she “wasn’t that Jewish”: She and her family didn’t go to temple during the major High Holy Days.
Piper got over it. She learned through passionately Jewish relatives that a good Jewish heart is what defines one’s status in the community—a heart filled with compassion, humor, and a philosophical acceptance of what life throws one’s way.
Piper is a winning performer.
