Memorial scrolls 

Jewish Museum Milwaukee continues its Global Museum Passport programming with a virtual tour of the Memorial Scroll Trust, “The Czech Scroll Story: From World War II to the Diaspora.” Sept. 23, noon. A series of miracles allowed a huge hoard of Czech Torah scrolls to survive the devastation of the Shoah and stand as a testament to the communities that perished. The Memorial Scrolls Trust is committed to maintaining the legacy of these scrolls by dispersing 1,400 of them around the world on permanent loan. Join Lois Roman, trustee of the Memorial Scrolls Trust, to tour the Westminster Synagogue where the Czech Memorial Scrolls Museum is located and to learn how several scrolls ended up in Milwaukee. This program will be shown via Zoom; register to receive the full login information. Museum members free. Nonmembers $10. Sponsored by Michael S. Zucker and Jane Steinberg. JewishMuseumMilwaukee.org.

Photography exhibit 

The opening of the Zachor Photography Exhibit in the Surlow Promenade of the Harry & Rose Samson Family JCC, shown in partnership with the Nathan & Esther Pelz Holocaust Education Resource Center, will take place on Sept. 26 at 2 p.m. and is free and open to the public. This portrait exhibit serves as a visual representation of those whose history we wish to preserve to give back to the Jewish Community. The Jewish photographers featured in this exhibit believe that it is important to document these stories to be shared with coming generations and that these portraits can be a powerful instrument to carry yesterday into tomorrow.  As this exhibit pivoted through the influence of the pandemic, these porch portraits became a symbol of survival in challenging times. The exhibit will remain open to the public during JCC open hours throughout the fall season. Learn more at JccMilwaukee.org/Tapestry. 

Thursday, Sept. 30 

Kick off the 20th year anniversary of KOACH with a senior adult appreciation outdoor concert featuring the Lil Rev Trio on Thursday, Sept. 30, at noon.  Open to adults 55+ throughout the community.

For more information, contact Rachel Pressman, JCC Community Programs Coordinator, at RPressman@JccMilwaukee.org or call 414-967-8258.  $8 per person and boxed lunches will be provided.
