Festival of Israeli Culture.
Jewish Community Centre of Greater Vancouver presents Outdoor Sunday of the Festival of Israeli Culture on May 15 from 11 am to 6 pm at the JCCGV (950 West 41st Avenue)
MUSIC, DANCE, ART, and food are all part of Outdoor Sunday, which gives people a chance to discover and celebrate the multi-ethnic nature of Israeli culture. The theme of this year’s day-long event is Cultural Crossroads.
The Sam Rocha Trio headlines the event with its mix of folk, roots, and R&B music. Other performers include jazz vocalist Andrea Superstein; the Choir in Hebrew; dance troupes; and ShowStoppers, Perry Erlich’s energetic GLEE-inspired ensemble.
The Art Fair showcases works by local craftspeople such as Art of Pottery’s Magdalena and Marcin Zmudzinski artist Maxine Woodman. There’s a film screening in Hebrew, a lecture by former journalist Yaron Deckel, kids’ activities, and more.
All events are free of charge, with donations to the Jewish Food Bank welcome. More information is at www.israelifestival.com.
