Abstract

The Jewish nation is an ancient nation, and the Jewish theater is an ancient cultural symbol. In contrast, New York is an international metropolis full of modern sense and fashion atmosphere. The collision between Jewish theater and the modern city is a topic worth exploring. This paper argues that in order to save the cultural heritage, it is necessary for Jewish directors and playwrights to produce theatres in Yiddish or Hebrew. In order to increase the acceptance of Jewish theater in the cultural environment of New York City, the creators of Jewish theater should broaden the subject matter and themes and include more entertainment. The biggest problem facing Jewish theater in New York is that Hebrew has fallen out of favor with Jewish youth, many of whom are no longer proficient in the language. This restricted the further development of Jewish theater in America.
