The Giving Tree — Israeli Children's Theater

The Israeli children’s theater is delighted to invite audiences to the story The Giving Tree—a warm tale about a lifelong friendship and how much one can give to someone they love.

When the boy was little, the tree became his familiar place of joy: he would play with its leaves, climb its trunk, eat its juicy fruit, swing from its branches, and, when tired, peacefully fall asleep in its shade.

Over time, the boy grew up and stopped coming for a long while. But years later, he returned again—first as a teenager, then as an adult, and later as an elderly man. Each time, he brought new worries and new desires with him. The tree, still delighted to see him, did everything it could to help him feel happier.

Thus, year after year, it gave the boy pieces of itself, until nothing remained but a stump. And yet the tree felt no bitterness: for it, the very opportunity to give was already a joy. This is a kind and deeply moving production about love that expects no thanks, and about how important it is to know how to share what you have.
