Miracles and Tragedies
Author(s): Beatriz Hal
The play recounts two journeys simultaneously. The first, the inner world of Amos, an Israeli boy on the brink of Bar Mitzvah, full of confusion and hostility.

The story of the grandfather and his love for his grandson comforts Amos and helps him to mature. This production has been presented over 2000 times in the past 18 years to families throughout Israel and toured throughout North America on three different occasions.
The play is based on the playwright's father's memoirs. Published in Israel by the Ghetto Fighters House (Museum)
