I’ve Got This

by Chuck Simon

Friday, Jan 2, 2026, after following Shabbat Service

Assimilated divorced Jewish’s family experiences a death. The departed husband wants to renegotiate plans for the deceased while his daughter meets a Brooklyn Orthodox man on Tinder. Can the mother fix it? Can she handle the negotiation, and handle her ex-husband, who wants to delay shiva because he is cat sitting? It’s a dark Jewish comedy.
