She's Japanese, She's Jewish= a one woman show..

The Jewish Times introduces you to Rachel Factor. She was born in Hawaii, a fourth-generation Japanese-American, and went to a Christian missionary school and became a dancer/ singer, and married a Jewish man, and converted to Conservative Judaism, and then later to Orthodox Judaism. That is a bit unusual I must say. The closest thing I ever heard that was remotely as strange is this: I knew a hasidic kid who was an incredible drummer at a very young age of 16-17 who was more talented than most professionals I had seen. His father had been a professional bass player (now in advertising) and his mom a dancer. They met, got married and both became religious- Breslov I believe. They also made aliyah a few years back. But I digress, Rachel Factor has a a one-woman show entitled "JAP". She is requested to do her show constantly and flies all over US because of her unusual experiences and her attachment to Judaism.
