It was cold and snowy outside but comfortable and warm inside the Yeshivah of Flatbush High School auditorium on March 27th. An inclusive production of Frozen played before a packed house of enthusiastic theatergoers. The high school students and Yachad members performed together seamlessly as the story of the two royal sisters played out with charm and sensitivity.
Yachad member Devorah Leiberman shared, “I really enjoyed working on the play with my new friends at the Yeshivah of Flatbush — it was a lot of fun. I spent a lot of time practicing and preparing my lines, along with my roommates who were also in the play.”
David Weintraub, program director of Senior Yachad said, “When you see “inclusion” practiced right before your eyes with dignity and ease, you must appreciate how far our community has come in accepting all of B’nei Yisrael for who they are, without judgments and reservations. The entire cast and crew, those from Yachad and those from the Yeshivah of Flatbush, did their best to make the evening unforgettable.”
