This event will feature a surprising array of Broadway show tunes by Jewish composers, fostering an intergenerational connection through music that everyone loves.While the focus is on Broadway songs, we are honored to present Holocaust survivor Arthur Spielman, born in Krakow, Poland, who will recall and sing two songs of the folk composer of Krakow Mordechai Gebertig, including "Rejoice, Rejoice Kinderlech." Arthur says: "I heard my aunts sing these songs in Yiddish around the house, when there was no radio and no television. I am so grateful that the next generation is interested to learn this music." Beth Nivin and Fern Zagor, a 2nd generation survivor, will also sing familiar Yiddish songs. Bethany Friedman, founder of Shir Levav and a pre-law student, states: "I've learned so much from meeting these courageous survivors, it has changed my life. They have inspired me to give back to others. Leonard Bernstein's song in West Side Story "One Hand, One Heart" spotlights a moment of peace, mutual respect and love that represents our hope for the future."
