On Saturday, Nov. 9 Temple Beth Torah in Fremont will host The Light that Makes You Remember, a touring recital of music from the Jewish diaspora, featuring mezzo-soprano and Fremont native Rebecca Sacks. A Stanford graduate and grandchild of Holocaust survivors, Sacks combines music making and storytelling to create a unique recital experience that charts the Jewish soul’s sense of longing for a homeland.
The concert features music across genres from traditional Ladino folk music and Yiddish theater songs to operatic music by Jewish composers and new compositions. This recital explores how diverse threads of Zionism have permeated Jewish art and thought across place and time.
A journey across centuries of Jewish music and the singer’s own experience, this concert invites audiences to ask themselves “What is the light calling me to remember?”
Mary Stocker is the collaborative pianist for the recital. This event will benefit World Central Kitchen and Temple Beth Torah. Purchase tickets at bethtorah-fremont.org/education and designate “Education Fund” at time of purchase.
