We were honored to host the Rodef Shalom community as part of our second “Get Smart-er” lecture, welcoming 40 guests for a powerful discussion centered on the extraordinary story behind a Stradivarius violin once gifted to Polish Jewish prodigy Bronisław Huberman.
The film explores not only music history, but courage...telling the story of how Huberman went on to rescue hundreds of European Jewish musicians during the Holocaust.
The conversation was thoughtfully moderated by concert violinist Sheila Reinhold, who brought a deeply personal perspective as a performer, as the child of Holocaust survivors, and as someone who has had the privilege of playing several Stradivarius violins herself.
Moments like these remind us that lifelong learning, meaningful dialogue, and shared history are at the heart of community living.
We’re grateful to Rodef Shalom and the Hazak community for partnering with us for this impactful event.
