Wed., Aug 3, 8:30pm
Café l'angora
3 boulevard richard lenoir,
75011 Paris, France
Tix: www.shpilkes.org/#!concerts/cnnz
De fil en aiguille, de reprises en retouches, Shpilkes rafistole l’étoffe d’une musique populaire, à danser, à rire, à boire et à pleurer, agençant les pièces, pas toutes rapportées, d’une culture qui ne finit pas de se réinventer. Le groupe développe un répertoire dansant d’Europe de l’est et des chansons yiddish contemporaines, méditations sur le temps qui passe ou explosions de joie.
Concert exceptionnel de Shpilkes à Paris, avant de partir pour le Festival de Musique Juive de Carpentras !
Il est possible de dîner à l'Angora (et c'est très bon !)
Tarif : chapeau (10 euros suggérés)

Michael Wex will launch his new book, Rhapsody in Schmaltz
Sunday, Aug 28, 2pm
Jewish Public Library,
5151 Côte Ste-Catherine Road,
Montreal, QC, Canada.
Admission: $10 for members and students, $15 for non-members.
For tickets and information call 514-345-6416 or visit www.jewishpubliclibrary.org.
A study of Ashkenazi food that does for Yiddish food what Wex’s book Born to Kvetch did for Yiddish speech, Rhapsody in Schmaltz traces the history and social impact of the cuisine that Yiddish-speaking Jews from Central and Eastern Europe brought to the U.S. and that their American descendants developed and refined. The book looks at how and where these dishes came to be, how they varied from region to region, the role they played in Jewish culture in Europe, and the role that they play in Jewish and more general American culture and foodways today. It traces the pathways of Jewish food from the Bible and Talmud, to Eastern Europe, to its popular landing pads in North America today. With an eye for detail and a healthy dose of humor, Michael Wex also examines how these impact modern culture, from temple to television.
