“Along with the three cups of wisdom and two cups of matzoh meal, Shira adds a pinch of laughter, a pinch of tears and a gallon of brilliant voice. This show really wowed me and I hope it reaches many more people in the years to come because Judith and Shira’s stories really need to reach the masses.” -Jamie S, Seattle WA
“My mom and I loved the one women show. Shira was terrific, talented, loving and warm. We loved the stories. Thank you for sharing your life with us.”
-Lois Berger Eisner
“Great show. A tug at the heartstrings, a picture of a family of strong women (and men) as seen through the eyes of a granddaughter, niece and daughter. Shira brings her family to life before your eyes, telling, singing and acting out their history and their personalities. Shira is multi talented - an actress, and author who keeps you entertained expertly carries off a one woman show.”
-Judy Arnold Traub, Boca Raton FL
“Shira obviously gets her vivacity from the incredible family that she brings alive through song and words in this "delicious" production. An engaging show.”
-Linda Geller-Schwartz,
Boca Raton, FL
“What a wonderful show! By the end I really felt I knew this family. Shira is a force......she can do anything she sets her mind to. Years ago, I was one of those she sold knives to. I didn't think I needed them, but it's years later and I am still reaching for them first, just as I will always reach out to see what Shira will do next. Congratulations to Shira on Bubby's Kitchen. It brings home how important family is and of course, we will never forget!” -Rita DeAngelis, Boca Raton, FL
“Your show deserves to be sold out for every performance. I enjoyed it in Seattle and I look forward to seeing it again one day. Congratulations.” -Donald Kurasch, Seattle WA
“Through clever devices, Shira made a one-woman show seem like a cast of plenty!” -Seattle
“Shira brought Bubby’s Kitchen to us on a Sunday for an afternoon of laughter, memory and music we will never forget. From the opening chords to the rousing ending, Shira brought heart, ruach and life to her family’s legacy with humor and song. This is a fantastic show for all ages.”
-Cantor Jessica Epstein, NJ
"Last night I heard Cantor Shira Ginsburg's Bubby's Kitchen, created and performed by her, with original music by Cantor Jonathan Comisar. It knocked my socks off, even though I was wearing sandals. Friends, this is astonishing! Our colleagues' talents as singers, worship leaders, story tellers, actors, composers, lyricists and masters of stage craft are amazing as represented here. Shira's story, her grandparents' story is compelling without being maudlin and driving
without being strident.
Her use of humor and her signature smile perfectly offset the direct liturgical imperative of this one-act piece. Jonathan's music is contemporary, immediately appealing and authentic,
so well-suited to the diverse stories we hear around
the table. This program will suit any time of year, so
book it and be prepared for the overwhelming response and resulting discussions. Hats off, also to Rick Bertone whose piano accompaniment was more than sensitive. Shira is superb and her voice soars."
-Cantor Barbara Ostfeld
“Your warmth, insight, love and humor just cast a magic spell over all of us.” -Lauren Weinberger, NYC
