Get ready for an extraordinary musical and cultural treat! The Singer Family Music Recital Fund in partnership with the Temple Community Service Corps (TCSC) will present the Wholesale Klezmer Band, a very talented group with a musical attitude. Delightful songs will please children in the audience and their parents. 

The Band's repertoire includes music for dance, traditional Yiddish folk songs and vaudeville songs along with original compositions. The Wholesale Klezmer Band performs in Yiddish but makes it accessible to the English speaking world with translations, stories, explanations, and visuals. They write many of their own dance tunes that speak to contemporary concerns--repairing the world, Tikkun Olam, and living together in peace and justice.
