I saw a wonderful play the other day. “New Jerusalem” performed at the Theater J. (Kudos to Ari Roth, the creative Artistic Director, who is often attacked for taking non-traditional stands.) This is a retelling (of sorts) of the interrogation of Baruch de Spinoza (1656) that led to his excommunication; a discourse between traditional belief and modern thought, faith and philosophy- in other words, a very modern dilemna.
