Americans in Paris live the dream life. But for an expatriate Jewish wife and her Gentile husband in 2002, the dream shatters as synagogues burn all across France. They must learn to restore a family they had lost.

The Dorothy Silver Playwriting Competition, sponsored annually by the Mandel Jewish Community Center, is a highly regarded international writing competition for plays about the Jewish experience. For over twenty years countless plays with Jewish themes have been submitted to the competition and many past winners have been produced and received national recognition. Dorothy Silver, for whom the competition is named, is a well-known and respected theatre professional who served as the Mandel JCC’s Cultural Arts Department director for many years.
