Parts of the event listing were translated from Hebrew by Bukharian Jewish Post. Israeli comedian, actor and director Hai Davidov, co-founder of the Bukharian Jewish theater company Handa-Handa, will star in the Hebrew-language comedy A Lesson in Love (Shiur BeAhava) at Queens Theatre in Flushing Meadows–Corona Park on Sunday, Nov. 1, The Bukharian Times reported in its Oct. 29 edition. Ticket listings show the performance at 7:30 p.m. ET at 14 United Nations Avenue South, with tickets listed from about $71 to $82, and name Ten Li Yad Organization New York as the host. The play was written and directed by Gadi Tzedaka and also stars Anat Atzmon and Shoshana Bendava (spelled Benadava in the ticket listing). According to the Hebrew listing, it follows Pinchas, a handyman hired for a routine renovation at a clinic for sexual-dysfunction rehabilitation, who is unexpectedly asked to fill in for the clinic’s head therapist. The Bukharian Times reported that the production, from the Hebrew Theater, has toured Toronto, New Jersey, Florida, Los Angeles and the San Francisco Bay Area. “I am incredibly proud and excited to return once again to New York, to an audience I love and appreciate so deeply, to what I truly consider my second home,” Davidov told the newspaper. The paper reported that the North American production is led by Aviva Mosioff, a longtime New Yorker and member of the Bukharian Jewish community. Atzmon told the newspaper that the humor and cultural references “work exactly as they do back home.” Background Handa-Handa, which Davidov co-founded, stages comedy drawn from Bukharian family life and immigration, and according to The Bukharian Times has entertained Bukharian Jewish audiences for more than two decades. Davidov has also appeared in the series Tehran and the Netflix series Bros, and, according to the newspaper, plays an IDF officer in Avi Nesher’s new film Our Loves, which deals with the events of Oct. 7. Davidov told The Bukharian Times that Handa-Handa is preparing a new comedy-drama, LEV (Heart), created with Ronen Davidov, about an immigrant family arriving in Israel in 1991. It stars the Davidov brothers with Alik Shimonov, Tatiana Makhlinovsky and Irina Abayev, and New York performances are scheduled for Feb. 20–21 and March 6–7, the newspaper reported. Proceeds from the Queens performance benefit Ten Li Yad (Give Me a Hand), a nonprofit that the newspaper said supports women experiencing domestic violence and their children, families in need, victims of terrorism and people affected by the Oct. 7 attacks.
