Congregation Beth Or is pleased to support Reform Congregation Keneseth Israel's presentation of To Bigotry No Sanction, a magnificent musical work based on George Washington's historic Letter to the Hebrew Congregation of Newport, RI, composed by Jonathan Comisar.

Comisar's stunning new cantata embodies touchstones of Jewish and American music in an orchestral/choral setting. This professional performance, conducted by Kensho Watanbe, features members of The Philadelphia Orchestra and a multi-cultural choir representing 17 languages.

The program includes an introductory reading by renowned historical interpretive actor Dean Malissa as "George Washington" and a post-performance discussion with Jonathan Comisar, and KI Rabbi Lance J. Sussman, PhD, a professor of American Jewish History, moderated by Emmy Award-winning documentary filmmaker Sam Katz of History Making Productions.

This is a free, pre-recorded event with no registration required.
