LIGHT THROUGH THE CRACKS:
AN INTERFAITH CONCERT OF HOPE AND UNITY 

What happens when we choose to raise our voices together in a world that too often pulls us apart?

LIGHT THROUGH THE CRACKS is more than a concert. It’s an evening of music, hope, and connection, led by Cantor Abbie Strauss and Rabbi Feivel Strauss, bringing together extraordinary musicians, local faith leaders, and inspiring young voices to celebrate what unites us.

Together with our friends and neighbors from across the faith community, we are building bridges through music. Through beloved songs, powerful performances, and the world premiere of an original anthem of hope and unity, we celebrate the belief that our voices are stronger together.

But the story doesn’t end when the curtain closes. The song we create, the relationships we build, and the bridges we form are intended to carry this message of hope and unity far beyond the concert stage.

Because even in the most challenging moments, light finds a way through.
