''Robbie Gringras'' is an Israeli theater artist.〔Plays and Players, Hansom Books, 1992, p. 14〕〔Telling Jewish Tales in Public, HELEN KAYE , Jerusalem Post , 12-20-1994 〕 Robbie is a motivational speaker who performs internationally as far as Australia, Germany, Hong Kong, USA, and Israel. His shows revolve around the theme of complexity of love and understanding of Israel and Judaism. == Background and Performances == A British-born Oxford University graduate, Gringras is a writer, actor, singer and storyteller who now lives in Israel on Kibbutz Tuval.〔Looking for Robbie Gringras May 25, 2006 - David Tilman http://www.jewishexponent.com/article/3385/〕 Through theater and music, Robbie Gringras expresses his passion for the land of Israel (which he and his family made Aliyah to in 1996) and artistically shares his passion with his audiences. He is able to do this with his talents of directing, writing, acting, and story telling. One of his productions is called, That’s Why I’m (Still) Here, in which he tells a series of stories about his adjustment to Israel – when he moved there, the significance of why he did, and why he is still there today. His performance provides a new perspective of the land of Israel, and what it means to live there. “In the end alyiah isn’t about arriving. It’s about staying…”, he says.〔http://www.israelcentersf.org/tzavta/archives-israel-update.asp〕 Gringras drew attention for his 2009 performance piece ''The Eighth Child,'' penned as a response to Caryl Churchill's controversial play, Seven Jewish Children.〔D.C. Jewish theater director defends reading of anti-Israel play by Aaron Leibel , Washington Jewish Weekhttp://www.thejewishchronicle.net/pages/news_nation/push?article-D-C-+Jewish-theater+director-defends+reading-of+anti-Israel+play%20&link=push::target_page&hash=comments_2226361&id=2226361&instance=secondary_stories_left_column&〕 One of the songs he performs in this show (with friend musician, Adam Mader), is written by Ehud Banai, called Hayom, meaning "Today." Robbie Gringras calls it an “…honest love song. When you’ve landed and you’ve moved forward to the next phase of this honest relationship.” The relationship he refers to in this sweet melody is one’s relationship with Israel, and how just like in a romance between two people, Israel can be emotionally connected with at many levels. Other stories that Gringras tells in this performance are called Kissing through a Handkerchief – what happens when two cultures clash; The Arab and the Jew – the pain and humanity of the conflict between them; Chesed and Din – the overflowing love from Israeli Chutzpah; and An Unbeliever in the Holy City – a tale of a Yom Kippur in Jerusalem. San Francisco BJE and Israel Education Initiative describe Robbie Gringras and his work, "Robbie's work is delightful, and of great significance in helping build intimate, honest, () open relations between Israel and Diaspora".〔http://www.robbiegringras.5u.com/index.html〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Robbie Gringras」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
