Thank you to those community members who joined Federation last night to enjoy the sounds of MOSHAV at the World Cafe Live at the Queen in downtown Wilmington. It was certainly an event to remember as attendees enjoyed an evening of music, culture, connection and celebration. Special thanks to event chairs, Marci and Andy Aerenson, the event committee and Federation staff Wendy Berger, Andrea Bock and Julie James for their assistance and support.

For those who missed last night's performance, you can listen to their latest CD, New Sun Rising, released earlier this week and streamed on their website - click here. It is their most infectious album to date and is packed with rock, folk and world rhythms, multi-part harmonies, and plenty of soul. Lead single "World on Fire" features Grammy-nominated artist Matisyahu.
 
Shabbat Shalom,
