7 Days In The Arts
[additional-authors]
December 30, 2004

SATURDAY

Start off the year with a little Jewish “Kumbaya” down in Tustin. Dale Schatz leads Congregation B’nai Israel in an Alternative Shabbat that promises to be “just like camp, but without the bugs!” So go on. You know you’ve missed those Debbie Friedman classics.

Noon-5 p.m. Movie screening at 1:30 p.m. 2701 N. Sepulveda Blvd., Los Angeles. (310) 440-4500.

SUNDAY

More Jew music today, this time of the Eastern European variety. Cantor Hershl Fox performs a matinee concert titled, “Let Us Sing Yiddish!” sponsored by the resilient Los Angeles Yiddish Culture Club. Refreshments will be served. 2 p.m. $4-$8. 8339 W. Third St., Los Angeles. (310) 275-8455.

MONDAY

This afternoon and evening, a Jerusalem teacher who leads classes about the three mitzvot for women offers wisdom on the spiritual component of making challah. She’d rather us not print her name here, but what you should know is this is more than just a cooking class. Small groups of women gather in homes to learn the power of challah-making as a way of connecting with God.
1 p.m. and 7 p.m. Hancock Park residence. (310) 839-0613. pesa613@hotmail.com

TUESDAY

Do they know their group name means “towel” in Hebrew? Hard to say. But one thing Magevet clearly does know is a capella. The Yale University Jewish a capella group performs an all-ages concert of Hebrew music this evening at Kehillat Ma’arav.

7 p.m. $5 (adults), Free (children 18 and younger). 1715 21st St., Santa Monica. (310) 829-0566.

WEDNESDAY

PBS makes the point today that English is most definitely not our national language. “Do You Speak American?” airs this evening on KCET, and follows Robert MacNeil around the United States as he investigates the varied jargon and dialects that make up our melting pot – from New England’s Havahad yahds to South Carolina’s African-influenced Gullah (with subtitles).

8-11 p.m.
