Naomi Ackerman’s powerful portrayal draws you into her character in a way that many viewers feel as if they are living Michal’s experience. The play speaks to adults and teens, to survivors and to each of us who cares about abuse and working towards Shalom Bayit, peace in the home. Presented within a Jewish context, her message is universal, portraying realities faced by survivors from all backgrounds and cultures. There is no charge to attend. Registration is required.

Far too much abuse remains hidden, due to fear, shame, and lack of support within families and the community. It is incumbent upon each of us to recognize abuse, to support our friends and family members who have endured abuse, to work towards a community that provides legal, economic, spiritual, and emotional support to assist survivors in living free from abuse. Please join us for Flowers Aren’t Enough and become part of the change.
