May is a month to celebrate! Not only is it Jewish American Heritage Month and Mental Health Awareness Month, but it is also the month that one of Milwaukee’s most beloved and magnanimous benefactors, Helen Daniels Bader, was born.

On this special day, please join Jewish Museum Milwaukee and Bader Philanthropies for several free experiences that celebrate the passions and pursuits of Helen Daniels Bader, including tours of the Museum’s current special exhibit, Choices of Consequence: Denmark and the Holocaust, a brief program on Jewish meditation and mindfulness, followed by an experiential guided meditation and sound bath.

We will wrap up the celebration with a toast by Bader Philanthropies to the significant legacy that Helen’s work began over 30 years ago. Kosher tea and desserts will be provided, followed by violin music from the Wisconsin Conservatory of Music’s Tatiana Migliaccio.
