🎬 Through Children’s Eyes: Exclusive Premiere Screening
🕓 Sunday, November 9, 2025 | 4:00 PM
📍 B of A Performing Arts Center, Thousand Oaks
Join us for the premiere of Through Children’s Eyes—a moving documentary concert that brings to life the poetry and drawings of children imprisoned in the Terezin (Theresienstadt) concentration camp.
Set to an original score by Cantor David Shukiar and filmed on location in Terezin and the historic Attic Theatre, this film is a tribute to the creativity, resilience, and spirit of young lives lost too soon.
✨ Stay after the screening for a behind-the-scenes conversation with:
- Cantor David Shukiar, Composer
- Mark Saltzman, Librettist
- Steven Shapiro, Executive Producer
They will lead an in-depth discussion exploring the extraordinary journey behind the film, from the emotional path that led them to Terezin, to the unexpected miracles that opened doors once thought closed, and the deeply personal process of transforming children’s words and drawings into music.
This behind-the-scenes conversation offers a rare glimpse into a project born of remembrance, reverence, and hope.

LagBaOmer
Minor Jewish Festive Holiday: Lag BaOmer
What is Lag BaOmer?
🎉 Lag BaOmer is a fun and meaningful Jewish holiday that falls on the 33rd day of the Omer, the count between Passover and Shavuot. The word “Lag” comes from Hebrew letters that add up to 33, and omer means “sheaf,” a bundle of grain.
🌾 In ancient times, the Omer period also marked the spring harvest. It began with an offering of barley at Passover and ended with a wheat offering at Shavuot, connecting the agricultural season to our spiritual journey.
#️⃣ The Omer is a 49-day period marking the journey from Egypt (Passover) to receiving the Torah (Shavuot). During this time, some people avoid traditions like weddings, parties, or haircuts, but on Lag BaOmer, we take a joyful break! 🎉
We remember three important things on Lag BaOmer:
- A plague that ended among Rabbi Akiva’s students.
- The life of Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai, a famous Jewish teacher.
- A military victory by Jewish fighters long ago.
How to Celebrate:
🔥 Enjoy bonfires, picnics, weddings, or even a fresh haircut! It’s a day full of joy and light.
