The School of Jewish Music of Hebrew College in Newton, MA will honor the memory and celebrate the life
of troubadour, humanist and cultural icon Theodore Bikel with a special
showing of the documentary “Theodore Bikel: In the Shoes of Sholom
Aleichem.” Bikel’s career spanned more than 150 screen roles and countless
stage and musical performances. The film combines Bikel’s charismatic
storytelling and masterful performances with a broader exploration of
Aleichem’s life and work. Hankus Netsky, composer of “Theodore Bikel’s”
original score, will introduce the film and conduct a brief Q&A. Join us in
the Ted Cutler Atrium outside Berenson Hall at 7:15 p.m. for a musical
tribute to Bikel by Netsky and Cantor Becky Wexler, Can ’14.
