About My Name is Asher Lev

My Name is Asher Lev is a compelling drama adapted by Aaron Posner from Chaim Potok's novel. The play follows Asher Lev, a young Ladover Hasidic Jew with an extraordinary artistic talent. However, his religious community does not value art, leading to deep conflicts with his family—especially his father, who sees his work as blasphemous. His most controversial work deeply offends his family and community. 

The play explores themes of faith, tradition, identity, and the sacrifices required to pursue one's passion
