Shabbat Morning Service: From Vision to Reality - the New Holocaust Museum in Boston
2026-01-03 09:30 - 12:00 (America/New_York) | Rabbi Samuel Chiel Sanctuary, 385 Ward Street, Newton, MA, 02459, United States
Why does Boston need a new Holocaust museum now? Jody Kipnis, Co-Founder and President & CEO of the Holocaust Legacy Foundation, will share the ways the museum (opening in late 2026 across from Boston’s historic Freedom Trail) urgently confronts the rise in antisemitism today, and how its exhibits teach about democracy, choice, and moral courage.
Join us on Shabbat morning, January 3rd, to gain a behind-the-scenes look at the transformational vision behind this landmark project.
