Dear Weizmann Families -

Getting a little tired of Wintertime Musak everywhere you go?? Come join me on Sunday, December 14th at 3:00 pm for the Jewish Federation's "Festival of Jewish Music." Weizmann students will be presenting two songs from our recent Thanksgiving Concert and will then be joining area cantors in leading a sing-along of Hanukkah songs. We will also get to hear a performance by our friends in the Jewish Youth Orchestra, including our own Damien Knight and Ezra Axel!


 

This year, the event will be held at Temple Beth Israel of Pomona, 3033 N. Towne Ave, in Pomona.


 

Plan to arrive a little early to view the art show, and then let's find a place to have dinner together afterwards.  Free music festival entrance for students wearing their Weizmann shirts!

 

Thank you, and I look forward to singing and eating together on Sunday, 12/14.

Shabbat Shalom,

Cantor Bat-Sarah
