‘The Mitzvah’ to be performed
On May 1, the Chabad Jewish Center of NW Bergen
County will present “The Mitzvah,” a solo work for the
stage conceived, performed, and co-authored by actor and
child of a Holocaust survivor, Roger Grunwald. The pro-
gram will be held at 7:30 p.m. at the center at 375 Pulis
Avenue in Franklin Lakes. The performance, held in com-
memoration of Yom HaShoah, Holocaust Memorial Day,
will be followed by a lecture and discussion.
“The Mitzvah” (“The Good Deed”) sheds light on one
of the most astonishing stories of World War II: how tens
of thousands of German men, classified as “mischlinge”
(the derogatory term the Nazis used to describe those
descended from one, two, or three Jewish grandparents)
ended up serving in Hitler’s army.
To tell the story, Grunwald portrays an array of char-
acters including Christoph (the “mischling”); Schmuel, a
Polish Jew from Bialystok and the play’s chorus who offers
edgy commentary probing the boundary between the
absurd and the horrific.
“The Mitzvah Project” is fiscally sponsored by the
New York Foundation for the Arts, a 501(c)(3) public,
tax-exempt foundation established by the New York State
Council on the Arts in 1971 to work with the arts commu-
nity to develop and facilitate programs in all disciplines.
The project is the recipient of a 2013 NYFA Opportunity
Grant. For more information, visit www.themitzvah.org or
contact Roger Grunwald at (917) 363-3437.
Admission to the performance and lecture is $10; spon-
sors of $180 would be appreciated. To RSVP, call (201)
848-0449 or e-mail rabbi@chabadplace.org.
Air travel
(continued from page 13)
meal service and may not provide snacks, particularly on
shorter flights. When traveling on such airlines, pack easy-
to-transport snacks to address any hunger that may arise
during the flight. When choosing snacks, try to be mind-
ful of fellow passengers’ potential food allergies, and skip
anything laden with peanuts or tree nuts.
Pack earbuds or sound-reducing headphones. Airlines
typically charge extra for headsets for in-flight movies or
other entertainment features. Bring your own and make
sure you have the correct jack connection to fit the seat
console. Your own headphones will likely be more com-
fortable and even more soundproof than those provided by
the airline.
Put extra clothes in a carry-on bag. People don’t want
to imagine their luggage will get lost or delayed, but lug-
gage can be misplaced. Rather than finding yourself with a
carry-on filled with only snacks and identification, be sure
to bring at least one change of clothes so you will have an
emergency outfit to use should your luggage be misplaced.
Take your time heading to the baggage carousel. Many
passengers rush off of the plane and dash to the baggage
carousel to await their luggage. This creates a crowd of
people and does not necessarily guarantee that luggage will
be removed from the airplane in a timely manner. Wait for
the crowd to disperse a little, and you may have an easier
time spotting your luggage.
Travelers can make a flight and the process of flying
more enjoyable and more convenient in a number of ways.
