Darfur Calls
The Temple Beth-El Players
The Temple Beth-El Players will perform an original script written by
Michael Hardy, Kathleen Kardon, and Rachelle Neuman, based on the
genocide in Darfur. After the Nazi Holocaust, many people said, “Never
again,” but in the sixty-plus years since, there have been more
genocides than ever before in history.
Barry Block, senior Rabbi at Temple Beth-El, commissioned the
Temple ’s theatre group to produce a play in order to educate the
public about the tragedy in Sudan, Africa. Darfur Calls-a Trial for
Humanity-a Trial of Conscience opens with an African interpretive
dance and then moves into a trial in which an average woman, Miriam,
is held accountable for her lack of response to the Darfur genocide.
Audiences will hear witnesses from both sides and then will have to
decide whether or not Miriam is responsible and, in the process, learn
what they can do to help.
The writers’ hope is that the words, “Never again,” will never
again be empty words.
