Curated by Victoria Smolkin and Vlad Smolkin\, the exhibition places the stories of several Soviet Jewish families who came to Maryland in conversation with the global and national politics that enabled their emigration. Through presenting a selection of lived experiences\, the exhibition explores how American and Soviet Jews\, who began as distant strangers on opposite sides of the Cold War divide\, came to see each other as family. \n\n\n \nAt the event\, explore the gallery and gain insight into aspects of the exhibition that both directly and indirectly incorporate art and artists. Learn about the ways that art functions to support and integrate the history of Soviet Jewish emigration presented. Hear how the curator’s background in the arts has shaped some of the curatorial decisions. \n\n\n \nAbout Across-Life Worlds \n\n\n \nIn the late twentieth century\, more than a million Soviet Jews left the Soviet Union—the largest ethnic emigration from the USSR\, and the largest Jewish migration since the “Great Migration.” In the late 1980s and early 1990s Maryland became a major destination for this Soviet Jewish exodus. Across Life-Worlds follows the stories of these disparate branches of the Jewish family\, tracing their converging fates during the Cold War and coming to a focus on their reunification in the U.S. The exhibition curators\, themselves children of Soviet Jewish emigration\, capture family stories in interviews\, photos\, home videos\, and objects that reflect the years before their departure and after their arrival—a period that also marks the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991. \n\n\n \nAbout the Featured Curator \n\n\n \nVlad Smolkin was born in Kyiv\, Ukraine\, and emigrated to the United States in 1989 with his parents and sister\, co-curator Victoria Smolkin. He is an artist\, curator\, and founding director of CPM Gallery in Baltimore\, where he presents an international roster of contemporary artists\, publishes limited edition prints\, and partners with a range of curators\, writers\, and scholars. Across his work\, he creates spaces for collaboration and critical reflection\, asking how individuals might see and act within the systems that organize their lives. Smolkin received his MFA from Virginia Commonwealth University in 2012 and has exhibited nationally and internationally. His artistic and curatorial work has been featured in Frieze\, Artforum\, Forbes\, The Washington Post\, Artnet\, Hyperallergic\, BmoreArt\, among others. He has served as a visiting artist\, critic\, and lecturer at institutions including Moore College of Art and Design\, Johns Hopkins University\, the Maryland Institute College of Art\, Massey University in New Zealand\, Art Institute of Boston\, and Wesleyan University\, and has taught in the graduate Art History Department at Georgetown University. \n\n\n \nComplimentary kosher non-alcoholic beverages will be served. \n\n\n \nPlease note that capacity for this program is very limited and advance registration is strongly encouraged.

Shake the lulav\, enjoy harvest treats\, and add decorations to the sukkah before we head upstairs for an evening of storytelling and song in the sanctuary with Kedmah\, an ensemble that celebrates Middle Eastern Jewish expression through liturgical poems and songs. \n\n\n \nThese ancient poems and songs have infused spirit and meaning into both sacred and ordinary moments of human experience for generations. Led by Rabbi Yosef Ya’ish Goldman and Yoni Avi Battat\, Kedmah interprets these Arab\, North African\, and Ottoman melodies with deep reverence for tradition and bold adaptations with an ear towards our modern musical world. \n\n\n \nThroughout the concert\, Yosef and Yoni share stories of their ancestries and musical journeys\, while inviting audiences to join their voices with the echoes of past generations. The six-piece band features vocalists Rabbi Jessica Kate Meyer and Anat Halevy Hochberg\, alongside percussionist Fabio Pirozzolo and bassist James Heazlewood-Dale. Together with Goldman (lead vocalist) and Battat (violin\, oud\, and vocals) the ensemble turns sacred song into an evening of encounter — music that moves from quiet devotion to full-throated celebration\, holding memory\, longing\, and joy. \n\n\n \nKedmah preserves and reimagines Jewish piyyutim (devotional songs) from Syria\, Iraq\, Yemen\, Turkey\, Morocco\, Jerusalem\, and beyond. The ensemble is co-led by vocalist R’ Yosef Goldman and multi-instrumentalist Yoni Avi Battat\, and joined by vocalists R’ Jessica Kate Meyer and Anat Halevy Hochberg\, percussionist Fabio Pirozzolo\, and bassist James Heazlewood Dale. Incubated by Hadar’s Rising Song Institute\, and co-producer Joey Weisenberg\, Kedmah’s first album Simu Lev was released in April of 2024\, launching the ensemble into the American Jewish musical landscape. Since then\, they have performed across the country including venues such as the Kennedy Center\, The Weitzman Museum of American Jewish History\, the Philadelphia Jewish Music Festival\, and many more. With a strong commitment to education alongside performance\, Kedmah offers a range of workshops and classes as well as regional song circles in Boston\, Brooklyn\, and Philadelphia\, where participants join in the transmission of Mizrahi music to future generations. \n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n Upcoming Events\n \n \n\n\n \n\n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Partners Baltimore: Building Community One Partnership at a Time\n Looking to meet new people and strengthen connections across Baltimore’s Jewish community?

The screening is followed by a discussion with film producer and camp founder David Fishof. More than a documentary\, the film serves as a catalyst for conversation\, remembrance\, healing\, and community. After the screening\, join us for a discussion with film producer and camp founder David Fishof. \n\n\n \nCarrying unimaginable trauma\, they discover healing\, resilience\, and hope through music while being mentored by legendary musicians from bands including Guns N’ Roses\, Van Halen\, and Black Sabbath — reclaiming their voices\, one note at a time. \n\n\n \nThe Bridge chronicles healing\, connection\, and recovery through music. What begins as a leap into the unknown becomes a once-in-a-lifetime journey — proof that even after the darkest moments\, music can be more than sound.
