Sam Halpern: A Far Piece to Canaan
3919 Townsgate Drive, San Diego, 92130
Cost: Free
Sam Halpern, the father made famous in Justin Halpern's Sh*t My Dad Says, shares a heartwarming story of loss and redemption in this semi-autobiographical tale, A Far Piece to Canaan.
A Far Piece to Canaan is the story of Samuel Zelinsky, a celebrated academic, who revisits a farm in Kentucky where he spent four formative years of his childhood as the son of a Jewish sharecropper. He’s 72 and it’s been 60 years since he left, his return prompted by a deathbed-promise to his beloved wife who believes that answers to his problems with people spring from his childhood and are still alive in those Kentucky fields.
