Island favorites, Emily Prukisma, Shane Jewell and Tom Prukisma will put on their old world hats and join storyteller Merna Ann Hecht in an evening of Klezmer music and stories drawn from Eastern European and Middle Eastern traditions. This lively program of haunting Klezmer music and stories is in honor of Shavuot, the joyful Jewish holiday that originally celebrated the arrival of the first fruits of spring and of bread fashioned from new wheat. Shavuot also marks the giving of the Torah at Mt. Sinai.
Saturday evening, June 2, 7PM at Havurat Ee Shalom. 15401 Westside Hwy. Free Admission with donations gratefully accepted by the artists. Light refreshments of bread, fruit and cheese, in keeping with the holiday’s traditions will follow the performance.
