Alexandra (Al) Silber, an international actress, singer, and author, joins us this week on People Jew Wanna Know Podcast to reflect on her upbringing, career, and Jewish soul.
In an emotional and almost poetic episode, Al discusses the themes of life purpose, grief, love, and Jewish vitality. For years, Al had held roles in various productions of Fiddler on the Roof, and coming from a multi-faith family, she discusses how she reclaimed her Jewish identity through theater and performance.
