Aimee Ginsburg Bikel's Speaking events

PuBLIC SPEAKING FROM THE HEART

"Aimee's tribute to her late husband, Theodore Bikel, was nothing short of magnificent. Deftly weaving film clips, personal stories, and moving musical selections, Aimee's presentation was both enlightening and inspiring. The program was not only a history of Bikel's extraordinary life; it was also a history of 20th century Jewish life, from pre-war Jewish Vienna to pre-State Israel, from Broadway's "The Sound of Music" to the folk scene of Dylan and Ochs in Greenwich Village, from "Fiddler on the Roof" to civil rights marches in Mississippi, Bikel was at the center of every Jewish cultural and political moment of our times. In this contentious and frightening era, Bikel's life - as warmly recalled by Aimee - reminds us that social justice is at the heart of the Jewish experience and that we must be vigilant in our fight against injustice and tyranny."
