SUMMARY:Violins and Hope Exhibition - From the Holocaust to Symphony Hall
DESCRIPTION:The Minnesota JCC is proud to present Violins and Hope – From the Holocaust to Symphony Hall an extraordinary exhibition built around the internationally renowned project and its moving collection of restored string instruments once played by Jewish musicians before and during the Holocaust. Each violin carries a deeply personal story—bearing witness to one of history’s darkest chapters while honoring those who faced unimaginable adversity and the resilience of individuals who turned to music as a source of solace\, survival\, and defiance. \nThe exhibition also features work by Daniel Levin\, the first photographer to document— with remarkable depth—both the collection of violins that survived the Holocaust and the artful process of restoring them. Through hauntingly beautiful photographs and compelling text\, Violins and Hope – From the Holocaust to Symphony Hall brings these instruments and their histories into vivid presence\, inviting visitors to experience the violins up close\, learn about the musicians who once played them\, and engage in broader conversations about cultural memory\, the persistence of antisemitism\, and why remembrance matters. This exhibition is both a memorial and a celebration—of Jewish culture\, identity\, and the unbreakable human spirit.

And especially a story that has a big idea connected to other big ideas? Join us as we take our time to read these texts slowly\, working to consider why they were written and what messages we might learn (or push back on) from them. \nSefer HaAggadah is a massive collection of aggadot/tales\, arranged thematically\, and gleaned in the early 20th century by Bialik and Ravnitzky from classic Jewish sources (up to about 1000 CE). \nClasses are designed for drop-in participation; no prior knowledge is necessary or expected. \n\nInstructor Bio\nSara Lynn Newberger remembers receiving her first chumash (volume of Torah) in 3rd grade – and thus was born a life-long love of studying Torah. Born in Chicago\, she landed in St. Paul in 1989 where she came to work at the Talmud Torah of St. Paul Day School because the mission and vision resonated with her soul. After serving in many roles at TTSP\, she served as the Director of Hineni from its inception in 2014 to 2022. She believes passionately in the importance of Jewish learning and the impact it can have on people’s lives. She loves exploring Jewish texts\, customs\, values\, and ideas with students. \nSara Lynn enjoys cooking\, gardening\, visiting with friends\, singing\, and being outdoors. Sara Lynn is married to Barbie Levine and is Savta to Ruby and Lucy. \n\nSuggested Donation\nWe welcome your generous support to help sustain this class and future courses. \n\nRegistration Form\nClick here to register. \n\nLearn More\nLearn more about FolkLab\, our current classes\, and our Engage! Day of Learning.

SUMMARY:A Violin Returned: Eva Neubeck in Conversation with Ari King
DESCRIPTION:More than a century ago\, a German concertmaster and music school director named Siegmund Hess left behind a list of belongings—among them\, two violins that would later vanish in the shadow of Nazi persecution. For decades\, they were seemingly lost to time\, until one of those instruments made its way home. \nJoin Eva Neubeck\, Hess’s great-granddaughter\, for an intimate afternoon of story\, memory\, and music as she shares the extraordinary journey of rediscovering and recovering her family’s violin—an heirloom displaced during the Holocaust era and returned generations later through a trail of documents\, chance connections\, and persistent hope. \nMs. Neubeck will be joined by Ari King\, and together they’ll explore what it means to search for what was lost\, to follow fragments of evidence across time and distance\, and to listen for the human story held inside an object—one that asks what survives: the artifacts that carry history\, the families who keep searching\, and the way a single instrument can hold the weight of loss and the possibility of return. \nMs. Neubeck will share the recovered violin during the program\, and it will be played by violinist Raycurt Lemuel\, a musician with Brass Solidarity.
