A group of children from Sderot is staging performances in the United States about living under the threat of rockets. The children, all Russian-speaking immigrants, will spend a month at a Chabad-Lubavitch camp and a math camp near Boston before touring the East Coast and staging performances for other children. The plays will be performed in Russian with simultaneous English translation. The trip by the amateur theater troupe was organized by the Russian-Jewish Community Federation of Boston and the Sderot Information Center.
