Shearith Israel is proud to welcome member Jordan Herskowitz’s award-winning autobiographical one-man play, Growing Up Jordy Pordy, for a one night only performance on Sunday, April 18. Herskowitz, who grew up in Dallas, has been touring with his play internationally for the past year and a half and is about to begin touring in the United States. Shearith is happy to welcome him back to his home congregation for this exclusive performance.

Growing Up Jordy Pordy follows Herskowitz’s heart-warming and personal story about life as a professional mascot. Once his furry gloves come off, Herskowitz reveals his own struggles of growing up Jewish in Texas, being the forgotten middle child with both of his brothers born with Cystic Fibrosis, and his family’s journey with organ donation.

The performance also will raise awareness for Richie’s Spirit, a non-profit foundation Herskowitz has set-up in memory of his younger brother who passed away in 2007. The foundation’s two-pronged mission is to promote organ donation and to share Richie’s story.

A talkback with Jordan Herskowitz and a reception will follow the performance.
