On October 7, 2023, thousands gathered in the desert for the Nova Music Festival—an international celebration of life, love, and music—and were attacked with brutal, deliberate terror. What began as a joyful morning became the site of one of the worst massacres in Jewish history. Now, in the shadow of the recent shooting outside the Capital Jewish Museum, this story feels even more urgent—more necessary to confront.
This June, the Nova Exhibition comes to Greater Washington. We have the honor and responsibility to help tell this story.
Join us for an exclusive private viewing of the Nova Exhibition—a powerful opportunity to bear witness, honor those we lost, and elevate the voices of survivors. Come feel its impact, reflect on its meaning, and help carry its message forward.
