How we help
HOW WE HELP
We run www.NathanTheWise.com
NathanTheWise.com is the venture that supports the production of the 21st-century adaptation of Nathan the Wise, the Enlightenment literary classic on religious tolerance. Through our efforts, the new play—focused on the humanizing efforts of a Jewish merchant named Nathan in the time of Saladin—has become a rallying point for religious tolerance initiatives on American college campuses... and even at the Vatican.
"A new model of understanding among diverse groups."
"Professor D'Andrea's radical adaptation for the 21st century of Lessing's Nathan the Wise, centered on the idea of informed mutual respect, is taught in international conflict resolution courses both in the United States and abroad."
“The play attains a measure of holiness in its quest for a bond among Jerusalem’s three
great religions... 'I want to challenge people to transcend thinking in terms of the other in order to rethink in terms of commonality,' says D'Andrea, the Northern Virginia-based play-wright, professor and founder of the Theater of the First Amendment.
We advocate
It was crazy. We put up a simple Facebook post about our shirts, and it triggered a frenzy in the comments. Man oh man, there's a lot of anger and hate out there. One reasonable fellow remarked that normally he'd buy the shirt, but he was afraid of getting beaten up for wearing it (see below). What the hell?
Anyway, my response was to immediately don the shirt, go to D.C., and visit some friends.
