About this Event

Join us for a special evening with celebrated author and TEDx speaker Nhi Aronheim, whose memoir Soles of a Survivor chronicles her remarkable journey from war and displacement to belonging, family, and faith.

This thoughtfully prepared Vietnamese–Jewish fusion buffet dinner will be created in-house by Executive Director and “recovering” restaurateur/caterer Dawn LaRochelle and shared in the warm, communal spirit that defines the Museum. Throughout the evening, guests will have the opportunity to hear from Nhi, ask questions, and spend time in conversation with her in an intimate and welcoming setting.

We’ll dine in the magnificent Museum garden (weather permitting) or in our galleries among the art (in the event of rain).

More than a dinner, this is a chance to gather around the table with Nhi, hear her story and share our own stories with her, and enjoy the simple pleasure of being in community together.

Books will be available for purchase, and Nhi will be happy to sign copies during the evening.
