UnBroken: Would You Hide Me? The daughter of a Holocaust survivor, embarks on an international quest to uncover answers about the plight of her mother and her six siblings who, as mere children, escaped Nazi Germany relying solely on their own youthful bravado and the kindness of German strangers.
UnBroken chronicles the seven Weber siblings who evaded certain capture and death, and ultimately escaped Nazi Germany following their mother’s incarceration and murder at Auschwitz. After being hidden in a laundry hut by a benevolent farmer, the children spent two years on their own in wartorn Germany.
Emboldened by their father’s mandate that they ‘always stay together,’ the children used their own cunning and instincts to fight through hunger, loneliness, rape, bombings and fear. Their journey culminates with a painful ultimatum, when, separated from their father, they are told that they must declare themselves as orphans in order to escape to a new life in America. Unbeknownst to them, this salvation would become what would finally tear them apart, not to be reunited for another 40 years.

We will also explore how this factors into Cantor Maier’s approach as a Jewish educator, especially when working with a diverse array of students with different learning styles and needs.
Jazz Shabbat
Join us for an evening of Jazz inspired arrangements, prayer, and even some standards woven into our service!
The connection between the Jewish community and Jazz runs deep — from Irving Berlin, and George and Ira Gershwin, to Leonard Bernstein, to Stan Getz, and more.
The art of improvisation has long been the backbone of Jazz as well as the Cantorial tradition, and there has always been a great deal of mutual respect and admiration between both worlds. Join us as we celebrate the merging of these rich musical traditions!
