Avraham Rosenblum of the original Diaspora Band rocks the house with Jewish music.

Amazing rap expression of Jewish historical suffering and yearning in the live performance of "The Shtetl".

The lovely chassidic music band from Tsfat, Israel performs live on stage the most beautiful holy music. During summer war of 2006, I ate Shabbat lunch with the violin player at his house with his holy family as bombs fell nearby.

The violin maestro, Itzchak Perlman, joins four klezmer groups: Brave Old World, The Klezmatics, Andy Statman and the Klezmer Conservatory Band for a joyous get-together with unforgettable Klezmer melodies. As he says of the experience, "I caught the bug!"

The amazing Moshav Band live in Israel. Rebbe Shlomo Carlebach music from his yishuv (home) in central Israel. CDs available and more at www.moshavband.com!

Montreal klezmer band Shtreiml. Yes, this is diatonic harmonica played Howard Levy style (chromatically). Jason Rosenblatt - Harmonica, Josh 'Socalled' Dolgin - accordion, Rachel Lemish - trombone, Ariel Harrod - bass, Thierry Arsenault - drums. A Dave Tarras classic.

Simply Tsfat, the awesome chassidic band, at the Dead Sea festival during Pesach (Passover) in Israel.

The birth and the early years of the state of Israel in archival clips from the documentary "50 Years War", and a tribute to David Ben-Gurion. Accompanied by the tunes of Icelandic post-rock band Sigur Ros. Shalom!
