“What a fantastic show! The jokes made me plotz, the nostagia made me cry, and the story of survivors made me think. A wonderful evening. It would be a “shanda” to miss it!”.

“A Jew is Brooklyn is brilliant and entertaining. It is also a profound exploration of the meaning of living in the United States, enjoying the richness of American freedom as an immigrant kid, the son of a Holocaust survivor.  I found myself laughing and crying. Jake Ehrenreich has found a way to confront his past with honesty and integrity, humor and respect. A tour de force. I would not miss it.”

Rabbi JOSEPH POTASNIK

Executive Vice President, New York Board of Rabbis

 

“A great show--important and inspiring. Every Jew and Non-Jew should see it. Jake is a great talent; he sings, dances and tell jokes. Thankfully, he doesn't preach or else rabbinical unemployment would be even higher.”
