The Magic of Theo Bikel: A Centennial Reflection

Organizer(s): Kol Rinah
Sun, April 12, 2026
1:00 pm - 3:00 pm
Kol Rinah (directions)

Join us for a moving program with Aimee Ginsburg Bikel, widow of the legendary actor, singer, and moral voice Theodore Bikel.
Through intimate stories, music, and reflection, Aimee traces Theo’s extraordinary journey—from refugee to one of the great cultural figures of the Jewish world and beyond. His tireless efforts to keep Yiddish culture alive, his leadership in artistic and social-justice movements, and his insistence that Jewish identity and universal responsibility belong together all grew directly from his earliest experiences of displacement and loss.
This is a program about survival and continuity, about art as resistance, and about the enduring obligation to help shape a world in which such history is neither forgotten nor repeated.

Tickets are $10, RSVP preferred, people can also pay at the door.
