...Episcopal Church, on the fringe of Broadway in Manhattan, frequently presents dramatic readings and even short playlets in place of sermons by its vicar, Father Eugene A. Monick. One Sunday, parishioners acted out a scene from Harold Pinter's The Caretaker. At another service, they put on a sketch about parish life, improbably called The Dynamics of Inter-Cultural Encounter, or How I Split My Scene, Dropped My Frock, Blew My Cool and Found...

She presents her childhood memories of a Jewish family trying desperately to hide its origins without forgetting them. By recalling her own early confusion, she vividly illustrates the paradoxes and complexities created by the Bernays' cultural reorientation. Miss Bernays has infused the article with a quiet humor which makes her well-chosen examples all the more revealing: "Granted, the Harmonie Club had done its utmost to blanket...
