For three years local singer Heather Klein has worked together with Bay Area communities, local artists and musicians to present "Hungry for Yiddish; A Mitzvah Project." Several klezmer bands, Yiddish singers, classical, and world musicians pitch in to present a series of concerts to raise money and awareness for the Bay Area's homeless and hungry population. Proceeds from this event will be donated to the Berkeley Food Pantry, which provides hunger relief in Berkeley and Albany.

9-10pm: Yiddish song with Heather Klein's Inextinguishable Trio and Anthony Mordechai Tzvi Russell. Both Heather and Anthony bring a captivating deep artistry and operatic technique to Yiddish song. Their voices call audiences to rapt attention, their songs deep with history infused with new life.

10pm on: klezmer dance party!
The Bay's favorite Yiddish dance instructor and instigator Bruce Bierman will lead dances. Bruce relocated to L.A. so catch him while he's here! Saul Goodman's Klezmer Orkestar features Mike Perlmutter (clarinet, saxophone) and Dave Rosenfeld (violin, mandolin), plus friends Stu Brotman (poyk), Jim Rebhan (accordion), and Ilana Sherer (violin). Mike and Dave are resident musicians of klezmer Monday's at Saul's Deli.

The Arthouse will feature watercolors by local painter (and Yiddish student) Margaret Sloan. Her portraits aim to capture the small, intimate moments when the inner self flashes out and peeks at the world.
