Jewish Women’s Theatre: Stories from the Violins of Hope

The Holocaust had silenced them… until an extraordinary violin-maker brought their voices back to life, and to the world.

Six actors and five musicians bring to life the extraordinary story of violins played in ghettos, forests and concentration camps…and of the passionate Israeli violin maker determined to restore them. Now heard in performances all over the world, they are called the Violins of Hope.

On Sunday, April 19, 2020 at 2:00 PM, members of the LAJS chamber ensemble will join with Jewish Women’s Theatre and Temple Isaiah to present a World Premiere: Stories from the Violins of Hope.

This event will take place at Temple Isaiah and feature violins that survived the Holocaust and have been lovingly restored by Amnon Weinstein and his son Avshi in Tel Aviv.
