In Search of Courage is a dramatized musical revue about Michal, a young woman who comes to Israel for a year to study, survives a terror attack, and is cared for by a social worker who takes her back in time to meet great biblical figures who each coped with their own conflicts and challenges, and who survived through faith, ingenuity and courage.
Michal meets heroic characters from previous Raise Your Spirits plays –Joseph, Esther, Noah, Ruth & Naomi.
They sing the songs that put Raise Your Spirits on the map, together with new monologues and dialogues, written by Toby Klein Greenwald and Yael Valier, that delve even deeper into the souls of the men and women who are still our role models today.
In Search of Courage was performed in Gush Etzion, and in Jerusalem, for a thousand young women in the MASA program.
A film was created that is available for viewing in your community.
