The breath of life, The prayer of tomorrow. Michael Andron, written for Lillian at the birth of Benjamin Shalom, their son. Almost four thousand years ago, God spoke to Abram and established a covenant: throughout the generations, every Jewish male would be circumcised on the eighth day following his birth, health permitting. This removal of the ‘veil’ of the foreskin represented the deeper removal of the veils that separate us from God, encouraging our discovery of the divine sparks within us. As with Abraham, the first forefather of the Jewish people, who received the name Abraham after his circumcision, the child receives his Hebrew name at the time of the Bris. This name has important spiritual ramifications and should be chosen carefully. Michael will be glad to help you with your search. After about 18,000 babies, and almost four decades doing Brit Milah, Michael has entered his semi-retirement phase as a Mohel, timed with his move to Los Angeles so that he and Lillian could be closer to their son Ben and his incredible family. Feel free to call for information. https://www.kodesh.org/theater daily 0.75 2021-03-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f4863e575c0a14dc643056f/1612497353251-BDLZVD0JCAEKU8V4PIM5/89%5B1%5D2.jpg Theater - Theatre Dr. Andron’s passion for theatre began as a child at Camp Tranquillity. The camp would produce a play a week in a 200-year old barn that had been converted for use as a theater. If you weren’t acting, you were sweeping the floors, or climbing rafters built with wooden pegs instead of nails and aiming floodlights inside #10 tomato paste cans down at the actors. Needless to say, Michael was hooked! By age fifteen, he directed his first show. By seventeen, he was the head theatre counselor. For twelve years – at nine shows a summer – that old barn became Michael’s home away from home. In 1969, while visiting his late brother Sandy, Michael directed a play for a local school and soon became the founding Artistic Director of the Oconee Community Theatre, which is still in operation in Seneca, South Carolina. He completed his B.A. in Speech and Drama at Yeshiva University in 1971 under the incredible mentorship of Dr. Anthony Beukas (Yale, N.Y.U.). In 1973 he completed his M.A. in Educational Theatre at N.Y.U., married his wife Lillian (a professional actress he met at an audition), then returned to Seneca for a year to run the O.C.T. full time before returning to New York and ‘retired’ from theatre to pursue advanced training in martial arts, yoga and energy healing. When their son Ben was eleven, he found Michael’s old scrapbooks and asked if he could be in a play. Michael arranged to direct a production of Oliver! at Ben’s school. The show was a success and the school wanted more. The Hillel Community Theatre was born, which lasted 20 years, with over 50 productions, and a variety of community awards. Many alumni from that program – including their son Ben – went on to pursue careers in entertainment, including theatre, movies and television. In 2007, Michael and Lillian – always working together as a team – moved the operation about 150 yards southwest to found JCAT, the J’s Cultural Arts Theatre at the Michael-Ann Russell Jewish Community Center. Michael and Lillian received the coveted Remy Award from the South Florida Theatre League for Outstanding Contributions to Community Theater. In 2017, a professional Equity production of Broken Snow by Ben Andron and directed by Michael, was nominated for a Carbonell Award (South Florida’s ‘Tony Award) for Best New Work. They retired from theatre in 2020 and relocated to Sherman Oaks, California, to be closer to Ben and his amazing family. In 2000, he got to fulfill a long-missed dream… he played the role of Henry Albertson, the old actor, in the original Off-Broadway production of The Fantasticks. https://www.kodesh.org/tora-dojo daily 0.75 2021-02-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f4863e575c0a14dc643056f/1612498423537-BQR1LWRDOKAXQB2XYR83/Peaceful+Warrior.jpg Tora Dojo - Tora Dojo Karate Michael’s serious education in Kavana (focused attention) began at Yeshiva University when he became a student of Prof. H.I.
