For all of you who have wanted to go to KlezKamp but have not been able
to attend for a full week, and for all of you who have asked us to
bring KlezKamp to New York City, this is a golden opportunity to get a
taste of the rich Yiddish arts
and culture we celebrate.

The KlezKamp RoadShow, an offshoot of the internationally acclaimed
KlezKamp, is a day-long program in conjunction with the Uriel Weinreich
Summer Yiddish Program of the YIVO Institute. It features classes on
Yiddish culture, including the history of Yiddish radio, Yiddish
women's songs,Yiddish dance instruction, a panel discussion (in
Yiddish) with members of our senior community, a survey of the history
of papercutting and Yiddish visual arts and all culminating in a
blowout dance party and concert.

The KlezKamp RoadShow faculty includes some of the brightest names in
today's Yiddish culture including singer/artist Susan Leviton, master
dance instructor Steve Weintraub, musicians Michael Winograd
(clarinet), Pete Sokolow (keyboard) and David Levitt (trombone), and
headed by KlezKamp founder and award-winning Yiddish culture scholar
Henry Sapoznik, along with the director of the Summer Program, Hershl
Glasser.

Classes and workshops will run from 12:30 pm to 6:00 pm (admission :
$10). Dinner is on your own. At 7:00 pm, join us for a klezmer dance
party with live music and hulyen galore (admission : $10). Or spend the
