Lynnie's Light for Life 2026

Save the Date for Our Next Lynnie’s Light
Wednesday, September 9, 2026!
Lynnie’s Light for Life is the annual gathering and signature fundraiser dedicated to shining a light on the extraordinary work of The Hamsa Wellness Community. Each year, the community comes together to celebrate connection, honor the legacy of a visionary leader, and support programs that bring hope, education, and strength to individuals and families facing hereditary cancers.

About Lynnie’s Light
Lynn Isaacs Palan (Lynnie) was a pioneer and leader of both Nishmah: The St. Louis Jewish Women’s Project and Sharsheret Supports STL, from which The Hamsa Wellness Community evolved. Through her passionate volunteerism and professional work in these organizations and many others, she was dedicated to building vibrant communities and changing lives, especially for individuals living with, or at increased genetic risk of developing cancer. Lynnie lost her battle to breast cancer on April 10, 2018, leaving a legacy of philanthropy among her family, friends, and the entire St. Louis community. Lynnie’s passion and drive will forever remain the legacy of The Hamsa Wellness Community and Nishmah.
For more information or to donate to Lynnie’s Legacy, contact Director of the Hamsa Wellness Community, Chelsea Leon, at cleon@jccstl.org.

An anti-Semitic tweet leads comedian Alex Edelman to an unexpected place: a meeting of White Nationalists in Queens, face-to-face with the people behind the keyboards. Alex’s story explores religion, cultural identity, assimilation, empathy, gorillas that speak sign language—and what it means to be confronted with hatred.

She Loves Me
Book by Joe Masteroff; Music by Jerry Bock; Lyrics by Sheldon Harnick

An intimate and touching show, from the musical team behind Fiddler on the Roof and the writer of Cabaret. Considered by many to be the most charming musical ever written, She Loves Me is a warm romantic comedy with an endearing innocence and a touch of old-world elegance, the original play also inspired the films The Shop Around the Corner and You’ve Got Mail.
