When the Rabbis came to Town

When the Rabbis Came to Town is a live stage performance.  This special stage premiere honors Rabbi Allen Secher, who answered Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s call to join civil rights protests in St. Augustine in 1964. Arrested alongside 15 fellow rabbis during a prayer service at the Monson Motel, Secher took part in the largest arrest of rabbis in American history. Actor Adam Bell portrays Secher’s lifelong fight against racism and anti-semitism, followed by a live audience discussion and Q&A with Secher himself, now 91 and the sole surviving rabbi from the historic protest. 

Society members will be filming this live stage performance., so we ask for your usual quiet as an audience.
