Please join me for a splendid afternoon of Jewish Sephardic music on
Sunday, April 6, 2008 at 4:00 pm.
The one hour concert will be at Congregation Etz Hayim, the synagogue that has been my religious home since I first came to America in 1946.
I was born in Sarajevo, Bosnia. Before the madness of the Second World War, 14,000 Jewish people called Sarajevo home and it was known throughout Europe as /Chico Yerushalayim/ (Little Jerusalem) for its thriving Sephardic community. Today, sadly, there are only 160 Jewish survivors living there and most of them are elderly and ill.
They need our help and I am committed to sending them the help that they need.
To Buy Tickets and/or make a donation, please contact:
Congregation Etz Hayim, 2920 Arlington Blvd, Arlington, VA 22204

Okay, so that's a town???? Well, sort of. They have their own city and now they have their new synagogue, which we are "opening" with this concert. Officially? Oxford, Florida. Still not on your visionary map? The complex is drivable from Sarasota or Tampa or Orlando....
The synagogue is Temple Shalom, "Home of the New Jewish Congregation of Central Florida". The URL for the concert itself is: www.newjewishcongregation.org
For tickets call the office at 352-259-8773.
Price for the grand evening of the concert and dance party and dessert is $25.00
I'll be rockin' it out with Pete Rushefsky, Jake Shulman-Ment, and Brian Glassman and THAT should be enough to entice you to come. The concert will feature many of my compositions as well as goodies from our best sources, ones that particularly fit the flute. Then, at the dance party and dessert afterwards we'll be playing and dancing a new sher and a patch tanz! Locals: Be there!
Not local? Book your flight today! The weather is going to be great as well.
