Bad Jews

by Joshua Harmon

Following the death of their grandfather, three cousins come together to discuss the passing on of a beloved family heirloom: a gold chai necklace. The observant Jewish Daphna fights with the workaholic atheist Liam (who brought his non-Jewish girlfriend Melody along) over the necklace, while Liam’s brother Jonah just tries to keep the peace.

This dark comedy centers on themes of faith, family, and tradition, posing questions about what religion does (or doesn’t) mean to each of us.
