Ann Bear Memorial Women of Valor Reception
Featuring a performance by Violins of Hope
This event celebrates our Lion of Judahs, Lion of Judah Endowments, and Pomegranates while connecting with longtime friends and new acquaintances.
A special welcome to the new members of our Federation, our East Bay Lions of Judah and Pomegranates.
We are pleased to be honoring Barbara Kaufman, recipient of the 2019 Judith Chapman Memorial Women's Leadership Award.
Venue generously provided by Music at Kohl Mansion
The Violins of Hope is an extraordinary collection of 70+ instruments, originally owned and played by prisoners in Nazi concentration camps during World War II. The violins have been fully restored over the past twenty years by the Israeli father and son team Amnon and Avshalom Weinstein. The Violins of Hope is a project of Music at Kohl Mansion and the official tour will begin in January 2020 in commemoration of the 75th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz.
Experience a performance by Niv Askenazi, a student of Itzhak Perlman, and Rebecca Jackson, the 2018 KSBW Jefferson Award honoree and acting member of San Francisco Ballet Orchestra, on the Violins of Hope.
We are deeply grateful to the Kaufman and Perlman families for their generous underwriting of this performance in honor of Barbara Kaufman.
