Dear Friend of Yiddishkayt,
The Klezmatics are coming to Royce Hall on Thursday March 5. See the biggest Klezmer group on the planet stop by Los Angeles on their way to play Carnegie Hall. Don't miss this party.
Help us sell out the show - your ticket will help raise money for Yiddishkayt! Because Yiddishkayt made the shidekh,
the match, that made this concert possible, we can benefit from a
sold-out show. There has never been an easier way to help raise money
for Yiddishkayt - all while seeing the Grammy-winning Klezmatics at the
world-class Royce Hall.
--> Purchase tickets now!
(And join us later this month for "In Search of Yiddish" a documentary film screening with the filmmaker. More info below.)

 The Klezmatics are the only klezmer group to win a GRAMMY® Award. From their launching pad on New York City's Lower East Side, the Klezmatics took the music of European Jews, revived and re-energized it, and brought it back to Europe, where they made their international debut in Berlin in 1988. Now celebrating 20 years since that musical shot heard 'round the world, the Klezmatics begin a North American tour that takes them from Royce Hall to Carnegie Hall. On their 2009 tour, the Klezmatics celebrate their newest CD, a 20-year retrospective titled Tuml=Lebn (Noise=Life). Join them for a musical tour of the wildly adventurous terrain the group has traveled over the last two decades, from their early explorations of Jewish music to their dedicated efforts in finding common ground with other traditions. They have traveled anywhere and everywhere: folk, jazz, punk, classical, world, theater, and gospel. Along the way, the Klezmatics have established themselves as the world's most eclectic, and inclusive, Jewish party band. "(They) aren't just the best band in the klezmer vanguard... they rank
among the best bands on the planet. Jewish traditional music is just
the starting point for songs that jump, rock and swing-sometimes all at
the same time"
[Time Out, New York].

 On the eve of his 75th birthday, the well-known Russian poet and
scientist Alexander Gorodnitsky set out for Belarus, where his parents
were born and raised and where, in the fall of 1941, the Nazis murdered his entire family. The film follows his travels throughout the country hoping to find his grandparents' grave and the remnants of the Yiddish language. His search eventually brings him to Israel where his son and granddaughters now live. Today, his grandchildren speak Yiddish. --> For more info, visit our website.Presented by Bureau of Jewish Education, Los Angeles. Sponsored by the Jewish Federation of Greater Los Angeles.
