Hanukkah Celebration

Featuring live music by Zisl Slepovitch Klezmer Ensemble, art-making, photo ops and festive offerings for everyone to enjoy! Zisl Slepovitch Klezmer Ensemble The Zisl Slepovich Klezmer Ensemble is a critically acclaimed klezmer collective, the first to focus exclusively on the music and culture of Litvak Jews and their neighbors in Belarus, Lithuania, Latvia, Poland, and parts of Ukraine. Litvakus features a uniquely distinct sound, a mix of drones from Belarusian bagpipes and stings, with a recognizably Jewish idiom, and high-energy, “shtetl-disco” music, along with traditional Eastern European Jewish vocals. The band’s repertoire also includes contemporary klezmer pieces written in the spirit of roots music. This music group equally fits chamber and large open-air settings, plays at festivals, concert venues, clubs and private events. Art Activity: Paper Lanterns Surround yourself in light with the creation of paper lanterns! Create a landscape, cityscape or an abstract pattern using a variety of papers, markers, decorative hole punches, and tea lights in this intergenerational activity. Only skills needed are creativity and the desire for some home-made holiday joy.
