Partial reading of Waiting for the Messiah, a play set in the Warsaw Ghetto by Arkadiy Yakhnis

Join us for a partial reading of Waiting for the Messiah, a play set in the Warsaw Ghetto by Russian playwright/filmmaker (and current Highland Park resident) Arkadiy Yakhnis. Yakhnis has directed three full length feature films in Germany, Ukraine, and Russia. The San Francisco Jewish Film Festival says of his film "Farewell" "... each exquisitely-composed shot creates a world of haunting loss, unsurpassed faith and human dignity." This evening will offer a compelling taste of this fascinating artist's work (who you can read about more via https://www.arkadiyyakhnis.com/).
