About the play
Voice from the flameI
The performance “СН乇” from the theater “DGU” was included in the long list of the festival-competition for the highest theatrical award of the Dnieper “Sicheslavna-2025”
“СН乇” is the ancient Hebrew name of a shrub that grows in the desert, which is considered the burning bush from which the Lord appealed to Moses to bring his people out of Egyptian slavery.
The story of Moses and the burning bush is very important and very in tune with today.
The Jewish people lived in Egyptian slavery for centuries. And many believed that they were almost one people. Even the languages are very similar. But a burning bush appeared before the shepherd Moses in the desert. And the Lord turned to Moses from that bush and ordered his people to be brought out of slavery …
….Almost three and a half millennia ago, the Jews began their exit…
It was very difficult for them too…
They succeeded!
Gregory Gelfer won the Sholom Aleichem Literary Prize in 2026 for the play “СН乇”
