To commemorate America's 250th birthday, L'Chaim America! features professional actors performing sophisticated, heartfelt, and true stories that examine Jewish life in America today. Be inspired by a Black Jewish storyteller recounting how Ashkenazi activists helped elect LA's first Black mayor. Consider complex questions through a writer's Native American and Jewish heritages. Have a seat at an Iranian refugee family's Thanksgiving. Discover Jews in Wyoming's windswept "cowboy country," and celebrate as a Salvadoran immigrant reclaims his Judaism and lives the American dream.

Enjoy these plus other original stories and songs performed live. Watch the trailer here.

Presented by The Braid and made possible in part with support by the National Endowment for the Arts.
Presented in partnership with Combined Jewish Philanthropies, the JCC of Greater Boston, and Temple Israel.
