Temple Beth El - Jewish Food and Cultural Fair
Sunday June 9, 2013 from 11am – 7pm

Come for the Food, Stay for the Culture

Aptos, CA. Everyone is invited! Temple Beth El brings to its campus a Jewish Food and Cultural Fair, Sunday, June 9th from 11:00 am -7:00 pm. Admission is free for this family-friendly event that includes eight hours of food and fun. Nosh and kibbitz, shop the shuk, and swing and sway to non-stop live musical entertainment charting the Jewish musical journey across the globe.

Enjoy “real-deal” deli in Aptos’ own Lower East Side; explore Old City Jerusalem for Israeli classics like falafel and hummus; discover sweet delights from Jewish communities around the world at Bubbe’s Bakery. Complement your meal at the “BAR” Mitzvah serving up, among others, Kosher and local wines and beers.
Spanning time and genres, the Fair features local and Bay Area musicians performing on the outdoor stage. Alison Miller launches her Chagall Quartet performing chamber music by great Jewish composers of the 19th and 20th centuries. Though now from Silicon Valley, Alison honed her violin talent right here in Santa Cruz. The Ron Kaplan Jazz Trio highlights Jews in Jazz and the Great American Songbook. Jeff Brody’s Klezmer Trio adds a dash of Gypsy to the “Old Country” wedding party, and Achi ben Shalom’s group Adama: Music of the Jewish People performs music from Israel. Don’t miss San Jose-based Latin-Jazz headliner Kat Parra with her Sephardic Music Experience. The Rock Shabbat Band adds a contemporary beat to Jewish liturgy and, to close the Fair, blasts from the Shofar Orchestra of ram’s horns, heard last on the High Holy Days.
Over 25 local and Bay Area artists will offer their original work in booths spread along the path that leads to the Deli and the Stage. There also will be some amazing tchotchkes — collectables.
Catch some high-energy 18-minute Chai Time Talks, not unlike “TEDTalks.” (Chai means “life” and its Hebrew spelling also represents the number 18.) Local and regional innovators will offer insights into subjects like Jewish geography and Jewish roots, how to “hear” the Jewish in music, is there such a thing as a “Jewish story,” what is “good” about Jewish food, and a surprise “stand-up.”
At the Kindelah Korner children can enjoy supervised fun in the playground, an all-day play dough table, and a chance to add their own creative touch to making Kiddush cups and challah covers to take home.
The Jewish Cultural Fair is made possible through generous support from: The Ow Family Properties, The Gold Family, Karon Properties, Leland & Marian Zeidler (Old Sash Mill), The Wedeen Karwick Group at Morgan Stanley, and the Jewish Community Federation of San Francisco - Israel Center
