 Exit pulpit left: Rabbi Shimon Kashani and his wife Vered, well known leaders in the Southern California Jewish community, and the directors of The Southern California Jewish Center in Westwood, California, have jumped into a whole new world; the world of Broadway. The conservative couple have decided to executive produce "An Evening with Golda Meir", a one woman show starring Oscar nominated writer/ TV star Renee Taylor, opening this week at The Canon Theater. Asked why a Rabbi would produce a Broadway bound play, Kashani noted his reasons. "..by both the dramatic skill and the passion of Renee Taylor and the importance of preserving the lessons Golda Meir taught. We see this as a great opportunity to bring to people of all religions the great spirit of a magnificent woman who worked for democracy and humanity everywhere...she dreamed of a collaborative peace in the Middle East, but was defied by enmities that have become tragically more violent today".
