On April 26, Holocaust Community Services came together with of the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) Midwest and Arts Judaica to mark Holocaust Remembrance Day with a powerful performance of SURVIVORS. Through the voices of six actors portraying child survivors, the production brought history to life in a deeply moving and personal way - blending education with powerful stories, memories, and emotion.
Following the performance, a conversation with Holocaust survivor Gdalina Novitsky, led by ADL Deputy Director Yaron Gamburg, added an important and engaging perspective, highlighting often underrepresented Soviet survivor experiences.
We are grateful to our partners for their partnership on such a thoughtful and meaningful program, and to everyone who helped make the evening so impactful.
If you enjoy Chicago history, then join us for this fascinating book review and discussion with author and journalist Patrick T. Reardon as he discusses his book The Loop. He’ll discuss how the elevated structure gave its name to the downtown, linked together Chicago’s transportation grid, gave the city a center that served all Chicagoans and saved the downtown when those in other cities withered.

One year ago, we launched a weekly Torah class for residents who were denied access to Jewish learning while living in the former Soviet Union. Today, the class offers spiritual nourishment, meaningful connection, and—often—a sweet treat to enjoy together. This week, we celebrated our students with gift: A Book of Psalms, candlesticks, and Kiddush cups, honoring their continued dedication and growth.
