TRAVELING MUSEUM EXHIBIT AT CHA We are pleased to announce that CHA is hosting the inspirational exhibit that reminds us all of our strong spirit that allows us to survive DAVKA, "in spite of", all that life might hand us. The exhibit is borne out of one families experience during the Holocaust and has grown from one member of the surviving Shoah in to a community. "The symbol of Davka is the tree of life, the family tree. One sole surviving family member of the Shoah becomes the twig from which a new tree is created. That is what Davka is all about."
