DESCRIPTION:Admission is free for this family-friendly event that includes six hours of 
 food, music 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. Parking will be available on the Temple Beth El campus 
 with overflow parking at the Cabrillo College parking lot across the 
 street.\n\nEnjoy “real-deal” deli in Aptos’ own Lower East Side; come 
 into Nana’s kitchen for matzah ball soup shots; explore Old City 
 Jerusalem for Israeli classics like falafel and hummus; and discover sweet 
 home-baked delights from Jewish communities around the world at Bubbe’s 
 Bakery. Complement your meal at the “BAR” Mitzvah serving up wine and 
 beer. \n\nAt the Kinder Korner, children can enjoy supervised fun in the 
 playground, an all-day play dough table, and guided craft-making. During 
 the day, some of our stage musicians will offer special children’s music 
 circles in the library.\n\nOn the outdoor stage—with emcee Carol 
 Skolnick—the female a cappella group, Zambra, will sing Eastern European 
 songs. You won’t be able to resist getting up on your feet to Jeff 
 Brody’s Klezmer Gypsy All Stars or the Israeli sounds of Adama: Music of 
 the Jewish People with Achi ben Shalom. Temple Beth El’s own Rock Shabbat 
 Band adds a contemporary beat to Jewish liturgy and well-known singer, 
 Linda Hirschorn, will delight us with her ethereal interpretation of 
 liturgical songs. Linda’s group, Vocolot, will join her for a few 
 numbers. The Festival stage closes with a community sing-along celebrating 
 popular tunes from Jewish composers of well-known American musicals. Santa 
 Cruz’s own Ben Jammin’ will be on hand as our chorus leader.\n\nOver 20 
 local and Bay Area artists will offer their original work in booths spread 
 along the path that winds from Soquel Avenue to the Main Stage and Deli on 
 the terrace. Docents will offer guided tours of the Sanctuary. Our 
 “Celebrations” pop-up museum will contain collections of Jewish 
 cookbooks, Judaica, photos of travel to Israel, and unique quilts crafted 
 by members of the Temple Beth El community. There also will be an exquisite 
 Chuppah—the Wedding Canopy—and a display of artful Ketubot—the Jewish 
 wedding contract. The Ketubah has been a vehicle for Jewish artists (often 
 women) for many centuries.\n\nCatch fascinating and fun-filled 18-minute 
 Chai Time Talks. (Chai means “life” and its Hebrew spelling also 
 represents the number 18.)  Laugh at how much Yiddish is now part of our 
 everyday English; discover why some women in the Bible and Talmud were 
 tricksters; check out what is Jewish about Fair Trade; and gain new ways to 
 make a difference in the important area of Social Justice.  A returning 
 highlight is our own stand-up star, Rabbi Richard Litvak, surprising us 
 with the reversals and ironies of Jewish humor.\n\nPresenting Sponsor: The 
 Wedeen Hammer Group at Morgan Stanley & Schoolhouse Chai.\nThis event is 
 also sponsored in part by: Soy Vay, Ventana Property Services, Inc., Union 
 Bank, The Bess Family, Karon Properties, Sunridge Farms, The Musical Slugs,
