Biblical Breakthroughs with Rabbi Israel Becker @ Southwest Torah Institute
May 17 @ 12:00 pm

Get a “life lift” every Friday! Join Rabbi Becker for stimulating and provocative discussions based on the Torah portion, the Talmud and commentaries. Each week participants together will “plunge” into the sacred texts leading to challenging questions and healthy debate. In our pursuit of truth our thoughts crystallize and we emerge each week with “breakthrough” lessons that reshape our values, enhance our character and bring refreshing new meaning to our lives.

Contact Rabbi Becker at 520-747-7780 for more information. The program is free and open to all men and women in the Tucson Jewish community.

Cookin’s a Drag @ The Phoenix Theatre Company
May 17 @ 8:00 pm

Meet the outrageous drag queen and TV cooking show host, Betty D. Licious, in her first live TV special. Betty and her band of back-up boys manage mess-ups and mishaps on camera, while off-stage she faces personal struggles with aging, losing friends, and being her authentic self. When Betty learns of a plot to end her TV series, hilarity and hysterics collide. Cookin’s a Drag is a wildly campy send-up with a poignant heart of gold.
