The Rabbi's Mission Reviews
The Tolucan Times- Recommended
"...A funny and thoughtful examination of difference and acceptance, Art Shulman's The Rabbi's Mission celebrates the wide range of Jewish culture. Fine acting by the cast illuminates the themes of family and relationships."
Will Call- Somewhat Recommended
"...There are intelligent but overly lengthy philosophical discussions about religion and the Rabbi's tiresome shtik of talking to the portrait of his departed wife, Miriam, could be circumcised by half (at least). Nevertheless, Shulman has written and directed an amusing, multi-layered story, with some comical and squeaky clean dialogue, suitable for the whole mispoche."
Accessibly Live Off-Line- Recommended
"...This play, written and directed by local playwright Art Shulman, performs as a rather light and somewhat humorous soap opera. There aren't any such plot points that would make it as a heavily laden drama, but much of what is depicted would come across as realistic slices of domestic life. The action is presented within its dialogue, creating a rather talky play. But the talk is more within the realms of deep verbiage rather than idle chatter and thus, what is being expressed flows throughout. There isn't any padded conversation that some stage plays tend to use when it's the moment to stretch out a scene or three."
Los Angeles Post-Examiner- Recommended
"...That said the show is entertaining and delivers both mental stimulation and abundant humor. Even though it is heavily steeped in the Jewish experience it is nevertheless enjoyable to a broad audience without regard to their religious faith."
