The Kaddish Project
In this special edition of NH Outlook we look at the healing power of art. The Jewish prayer for the dead is known as Kaddish. It is also the title of an ambitious new musical work that had its debut in Keene on May 5th, 2008. Kaddish was commissioned to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the Cohen Center for Holocaust Studies at Keene State College. New Hampshire composer Larry Siegel wove together the words and memories of Holocaust survivors to create a work of remembrance and hope. NH Outlook's Richard Ager brings us the story of the production and highlights of the performance.
