“It's a culmination of threads, if you’ll pardon the pun, through my life, which sitting around in Covid allowed me to pull together”
Tsitsit: The Jewish Fringe Festival, aptly named after the Jewish ritual fringes, launches this October throughout the UK and online. It promises a packed month of music, theatre, comedy and family entertainment celebrating “the diversity of Jewishness” and is the brainchild of Alastair Falk, a former head teacher and co-founder of Limmud. Judi Herman caught up with him to find out about this new festival that’s really got her excited; and Alastair tells her how he himself got the festival bug starting out with his own comedy show on the Edinburgh Fringe.
Tsitsit: The Jewish Fringe Festival runs Sunday 3 – Sunday 31 October. Times and prices vary. See it online and at various UK venues. tsitsitfringe.org
