Summary/Abstract: The first post-war premiere of Dybbuk by Sh. An–ski took place on the stage of the Łódź Jewish Theatre on December 21, 1946, directed by Mojżesz Lipman. Lipman was an actor and director known for his pre-war artistic activity. In the 1920s and 1930s, he directed in Jewish theatres in Łódź, Warsaw and Kraków. After World War II, he was an actor, director and manager of the Łódź Jewish Theatre. In his Dybbuk, Lipman emphasized above all (as J. Jonasowicz wrote in Nasze Słowo) "the folk, moral side of this dramatic legend".The second post-war Dybbuk was a performance by the State Jewish Theatre named after Ester Rachel Kamińska in Warsaw in February 1957. The author of the staging was the outstanding actor, theatre and film director and manager of theatres Abraham Morewski, commonly remembered as the excellent Azriel, tzaddik from Miropol, in the world premiere of The Dybbuk on the stage of the Vilnius Troupe on December 9, 1920, and in the same role in the film The Dybbuk directed by Michał Waszyński (1937).
