- Abstract
The article focuses on two theatrical scenes dealing with Orthodox Jewish women's worship performed by Rachel Keshet in the years 2001 and 2002 within the framework of a theater group called "The Dosiyot." "The Dosiyot" is the most professional group of Orthodox women that existed in the first decade of such theatrical initiatives in Israel, which began in the early 1990s. The members of the group observe the Sabbath and send their children to Orthodox state schools, and they or immediate family members had either done National Service or served in the army. Nevertheless, they felt uncomfortable at being affiliated with mainstream Orthodox society, and in striving to become professional performers, they suggested new directions that this theater might take in the future.
