In choreographer Roni Kosmal-Wernik\’s piece about the aftermath of a suicide bombing, a dancer prowls the stage as if searching for a lost loved one. Her movements become heavy, brooding, as if she is burdened by an invisible weight.\n\nInspired by a family friend\’s death in a 2001 attack, Kosmal-Wernik\’s work will help kick off a June 20 event at Temple Emanuel to support other victims of terror. Performers such as pianist Sha-Rone Kushnir will appear to benefit ATZUM, a Jerusalem-based charity that provides necessities for families not covered by Israel\’s overburdened welfare system.\n\n\”Artists for ATZUM,\” is the latest Los Angeles response to Israel-based violence.
