"Babel's Daughter"
From the Bible-Belt to the Holy Land
This electric performance traces Chaya Lester's personal story - a cosmic, sometimes-comic, always-poetic, spiritual journey from the Mississippi Delta to the hills of Jerusalem. The show is entertaining and inspirational as well as interactive and educational, offering a dynamic synthesis of spoken-word performance art with audience-engaged Torah exploration.
This show will not just entertain you, it will guide you on your
own journey of Torah learning and spiritual awakening!
- More than entertainment, it's "inner-tainment".
The show debuted this summer in America to enthusiastic audiences. Please read some of the comments below and contact us if you are interested in

In Praise of "Babel's Daughter":
"With poetry, humor, and poignant disclosure, Chaya Lester entertainingly wove her personal story, evoking identification, self-revelation, and connection to Torah. Like a fine film, images and insights of Babel's Daughter have endured for me contributing to my own unfolding awareness."
- Eli Spitz, Rabbi & author
“Chaya Lester’s poetry is a gift to our era. Her deep yet soaring interpretations of Judaism bring it alive. Her works will uplift you and connect you in new ways to G-d and the world we live in.”
- Jennifer Laszlo-Mizrahi, Founder and President of The Israel Project (TIP)
Chaya Lester's show was a delightful and intense exploration of the Jewish American spiritual journey. While Chaya shares her personal story through hilarious characters, exquisite poetry, and subtle but profound Torah teachings, she invites us to reflect and explore our own journeys. I left the show being moved deeply by reflecting on the wondrous way that God is present in even the most unexpected parts of my life.
