...the power of Abraham’s Jewish history, identity, and tradition is at the heart of the drama and gives the play its real poignancy and soul. Abraham, like Tevye before him, must weigh the value of tradition against the importance of family. In so doing, he must reevaluate what he loves most – that which is right in front of him in the form of his family or that which he left behind in his promised land… The central story arc - that of an old man facing his own mortality in light of an ever-changing world - is at times heartwrenching. It’s easy to get lost in, to face this family's pain and, in so doing, one's own family heartaches.
