Created for Duckie, December 2010, this 5-minute cabaret performance reflected on Hanukkah and the ongoing battles between assimilation and non-assimilation... and current attitudes towards circumcision. The survey results (shared without comments underscored by Milk & Honey's 'Hallelujah') was followed by a lighting of Hanukkah candles.

"While war no longer rages between the Maccabees and the Ancient Greeks, I still believe a battle continues to rage... between the cut and the uncut.  To celebrate Hanukkah, I took a survey at the Royal Vauxhall Tavern about current attitudes towards ritual male circumcision..."

"Let us no longer raise our swords against each other in war. Let us now raise our swords towards each other... in peace."
