DESCRIPTION:In an act of solidarity among communities during these challeng
 ing times\, Christ Church Cathedral is presenting a staged reading of Bar 
 Mitzvah Boy - a comedy about Jewish identity and culture by BC writer\, Ma
 rk Leiren-Young.  \nThe Cathedral’s intention in doing this is to crea
 te a positive interfaith act of community\, in association with several Je
 wish organizations. The Dean of  the Diocese of New Westminster Christoph
 er Pappas states\, “At a time when antisemitism is once again casting it
 s shadow across our communities\, we believe that silence is not an option
 . As Christians\, we are called not simply to speak against hatred\, but t
 o stand alongside our Jewish neighbours in friendship\, solidarity\, and l
 ove.”\nVancouver’s Pacific Theatre presented the world premiere of Bar
  Mitzvah Boy eight years ago at Holy Trinity Anglican Church. The play has
  since had major productions in various cities in Canada and the US\, and 
 was long-listed for the Leacock Medal for Humour. The Cathedral’s presen
 tation will be led by distinguished director Jane Heyman\, and will featur
 e veteran actors Stephen Aberle and his daughter Rachel Aberle\, marking a
  special occasion in their notable careers as they appear\, once again\, o
 n stage together. \nDate: Thursday\, November 5\, 2026 \nTime: 7:30pm \

  climate and community crises.”)
