SUMMARY:Strings of Memory and Hope: Jewish Lessons from Violins of Hope: Music as Resistance – Faith\, Art\, and Defiance in the Holocaust (2 of 4 series)
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a powerful adult education series inspired by Violins of Hope – Wisconsin\, presented by Milwaukee Youth Symphony Orchestra (MYSO)\, 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. \nEach 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 discussions. Together we’ll reflect on how music and memory shape who we are\, and who we must become. \n💡 While each program can stand alone\, the sessions are designed as a connected journey — participants are encouraged to attend the entire series to experience the full depth and meaning. \n\nEvent Schedule\nSession 1: Memory in a Minor Key – Why We Remember\nOctober 21 | 7:00 PM📍 Congregation Sinai (8223 N Port Washington Rd\, Milwaukee\, WI 53217) \n\nSession 2: Music as Resistance – Faith\, Art\, and Defiance in the Holocaust\nOctober 28 | 7:00 PM📍 Congregation Emanu-El B’ne Jeshurun (2020 W Brown Deer Rd\, River Hills\, WI 53217) \n\nSession 3: Restoring What Was Broken – Healing Through Music and Memory\nNovember 6 | 7:00 PM📍 Congregation Beth Israel Ner Tamid (6880 N Green Bay Ave\, Milwaukee\, WI 53209) \n\nSession 4: L’dor V’dor – Passing the Song to the Next Generation\nNovember 11 | 7:00 PM📍 Congregation Shalom (7630 N Santa Monica Blvd\, Milwaukee\, WI 53217) \n\n✨ Don’t miss this opportunity to learn\, reflect\, and be inspired by the stories\, music\, and enduring legacy of the Violins of Hope.
