Violins of Hope
Strings of Memory and Hope: Jewish Lessons from Violins of Hope

Join us for a powerful adult education series inspired by Violin of Hope, the extraordinary collection of restored instruments that belonged to Jewish musicians before and during the Holocaust. These violins, silent witnesses to both tragedy and resilience, now sing again as symbols of memory, resistance, healing, and legacy.

Each session will explore a core Jewish theme: zikaron (remembrance), emnah (faith), tikkun (repair), and l’dor v’dor (legacy) through stories from the Violins of Hope project, Jewish texts, and soulful discussion. Together we’ll reflect on how music and memory shape who we are and who we must become.
