A Weekend of Workshops, Dance Party and a Concert Sponsored by Temple Beth El, featuring international klezmer stars: Michael Alpert & Craig Judelman

Presenting music of the Jewish-Ukrainian Heartland:Ukraine is one of the main heartlands of Yiddish culture, a large and diverse land where Ashkenazi culture thrived and developed with influences from Ukrainian, Polish, Greco-Ottoman, Tater, Hutsul and other cultures. The land that gave us Sholem Aleichem, Isaac Babel, the Baal Shem Tov and more also gave us an incredibly diverse repertoire of songs, from secular to religious, folk to theater and the rich underworld songs of Odessa as well as some of the most important collections of klezmer dance tunes. This year our featured guests will center music and dance from this rich and troubled land in their workshops and concert, giving the community an opportunity to immerse ourselves in this beautiful corner of ‘Yiddishland’.
