TEKIAH

Please Note: Ladies Only.

Torah Academy Girl’s High School presents Tekia: A personal tale about returning to one’s roots. Tekia follows the development of protagonist Yoram Amnon, a hot-headed Israeli lawyer who is disconnected from his Jewish and cultural identity. Through drama, music and dance the story of Yoram, a man trying desperately and often humorously to escape from his roots and identity, becomes universal as it taps into themes of belonging, family, connection and forgiveness.
Tekia embraces the shofar (ram’s horn) as a symbol of re-awakening throughout the play. In anticipation of the Jewish New Year (Rosh Hashanah), Tekia is a reminder, an awakening to us all.
