Nusakh Vilne Memorial

Annual Nusakh Vilne Memorial Program Sponsored by Nusakh Vilne Admission: Free Registration is required. Watch the video

Join us for our annual event commemorating the Jewish community of Vilna through poetry and music. This year's commemoration, the first ever to take place digitally via Zoom, will feature a conversation reflecting on the history and format of Nusakh Vilna, and the role that music, poetry, and ritual play in holocaust commemoration. Chaired by Elye Palevsky, the conversation will be moderated by YIVO's Director of Public Programs Alex Weiser, and will feature Rivka Augenfeld and Edna Friedberg (Historian at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum).
