Avital Raz: My Jerusalem

At a time when Trump can declare Jerusalem to be the Jewish capital, accusations of antisemitism plague the Labour Party, and negative feelings towards Israel rise, this solo performance from Avital Raz feels very timely indeed. My Jerusalem is a politically charged tale of a drunken…
