Broadway and television star Mandy Patinkin tells an immigrant’s emotional tale in a new one-man show, “Mamaloshen,” performed at a former synagogue on New York’s Lower East Side. The performance, which runs for three weeks, is part of what has been called the 45-year-old singer’s “restoration project” of the Jewish musical tradition. Patinkin’s choice of venue, the Angel Orensanz Foundation and Center for the Arts, opened in 1992 as part of the revitalization of the immigrant neighborhood in downtown Manhattan.
