1:00 PM Children's Program
2:00 PM Guava Rugelach Festival. 
Temple Israel of Greater Miami.
 
Celebrate the vast array of musical genres that create the whole that is Miami's diverse Jewish community. From the Ladino songs of the Sephardic middle east to those of Spain and Cuba; from Klezmer for kids to Klezmer jamming with Flamenco; to Hebrew lyrics dancing over Mizrachi (middle eastern) melodies mixed with rock beats to Yiddish songs from Latin America as smooth as a velvety lounge act - this is Tropical Jewish Sound. Featured artists this year include a reunion of The Open Tent's Sleepless Night presentation, Oy-Le!: A Convergence of Klezmer and Flamenco featuring Siempre Flamenco and the Heavy Shtetl Klezmer Trio; Israeli Yariv Ovadia who mingles rich middle eastern sounds into solid rock; and others including favorites from past Guava Rugelach events.
