Campbell's spiritual
Yisrael
journey stretches across
Campbell
four decades, two

tual hunger" led him to have a second

a four-month visit to Israel in 2000, he
decided to have a third conversion and
become an Orthodox Jew. Campbell and
his wife Avital, a Talmud teacher, have
four children and live in Jerusalem.
Campbell can be seen in two perfor-
mances: on Friday evening for families
with older children and on Saturday eve-
ning for adults only.

at 5 p.m. with a Shabbat Apella service.
Shabbat Shaboom, a musical Shabbat
experience for young families, with Rabbi
Rachel Shere and Lisa Sobel Siegmann
