Sunday @ the Segal: Prayer for the French Republic

An enriching pre-show discussion about the modern Jewish experience

Prayer for the French Republic is the latest work by multi-award-winning playwright Josh Harmon. This play explores modern antisemitism through the lens of a family living in France in 2016 amid a rise of antisemitic attacks and a pivotal election which led to the emigration of 5000 French Jews. 

This Sunday @ the Segal is moderated by our 2022-2023 season host, Sarah Deshaies, and features the Altman family who made this migration from France to Montreal in 2017 to get a deeper understanding of their reasoning and the experience of Jewish people in France. 

This interview will be conducted in French and English.
