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. \n\n\n	Related

SUMMARY:Violins of Hope - Through the Lens of Hope: An Artist Talk with Daniel Levin
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an afternoon of photography and memory with photographer Daniel Levin\, featuring an exhibit reception\, artist talk\, and book signing for Violins and Hope: From the Holocaust to Symphony Hall—winner of the 2022 Independent Publisher National Book of the Year. Levin is the first photographer to document\, in extraordinary depth\, the Tel Aviv workshop of Amnon Weinstein and the hauntingly intimate process behind the Violins of Hope—a mission to restore instruments that survived ghettos and camps even when their owners often did not. Through luminous photographs and compelling stories\, Levin invites us into a world of craft and devotion\, tracing how these violins were brought back to life and carried onto stages around the globe. Today\, the work continues through Amnon’s son\, Avshalom Weinstein\, ensuring these instruments remain living witnesses—sounding with resilience\, remembrance\, and human dignity. \nReception and book-signing with Daniel to follow in the Tychman Shapiro Gallery. \n \nFor the safety and security of all JCC patrons – any non-member guest attending an event at one of our Minnesota JCC campuses will need to show a valid US ID (Drivers License or Passport) to access the facility.  \n  \n  \n\n\n	Related

SUMMARY:Hope / Tikvah: A Youth Arts Showcase Presented by Rimon’s Keren Or Program
DESCRIPTION:“All of a sudden there was music. And hope.”  \nHope / Tikvah is a showcase of teen-created artwork\, featuring pieces made in response to a single prompt: Make hope visible. Show us what it means to you. Inspired in part by our community’s Violins of Hope residency—and the story of one violin once played by a gifted young musician whose life was transformed through music in extraordinarily difficult times—this program lifts up tikvah as an active practice: planting seeds (zera’im) even in uncertain soil\, repairing the world (tikkun olam) through small courageous acts\, and tending the spark (nitzotz) of light (or) within ourselves and one another. Through painting\, drawing\, photography\, sculpture\, dance\, music\, mixed media\, and more\, teens share what carries them through challenges and how creativity becomes resilience—each piece a personal answer\, and together\, a collective statement: even in difficult times\, there is light. There is hope. \nPresented in partnership with Adath Jeshurun Congregation. \n\n\n	Related

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. \n \n\n\n	Related
