KlezKamp’s 30th Anniversary

In true KlezKamp fashion, we will gather the tribe to our ancestral home in the Catskills once more for a rollicking explosion of Yiddish Folk Arts, December 23 – 29, 2014 to reminisce and create new Jewish art and music as Living Traditions metamorphoses into the Mayrent Center in Madison to continue the good work begun 30 years ago.  This year’s bash will include a shabbes interlude mit alle mayles – all the trimmings, as Henry Sapoznik says.  Come join us as we continue to build a brilliant links in our cultural chain.

I B Singer and his Artists

As part of the Koster Family grant that was awarded to Chisuk Emuna congregation in Harrisburg in June, 2014, I will be presenting a lively lecture/recital on the artists who have and continue to illustrate the works of Isaac Bashevis Singer, stitching the stories and images together with threads of Yiddish song!  The date is Sunday, November 16, 2014, and Chisuk Emuna will host the event at 10:30 am.  In keeping with the literary theme, the shul will be sponsoring a huge community book and music sale that day, accompanied by the stellar baked goods that will emerge from the new building’s sparkling kitchen!...

Check back for pictures after December...
