Art Making with the Skirball Cultural Center: Ignite imagination and creativity! Learn about the Jewish practice of doing a mitzvah, or a good deed. In this workshop, adapted from the Skirball's Family Art Studio, participants will create a decorated Mitzvah Wheel to help decide what good deed to do each day.

Music Making with the Zetz Klezmer Ensemble: Participants will learn concepts of Jewish culture and history through music and gain an appreciation for the cultural context of the music. The instrumentalists will learn to play klezmer songs that will be performed at the concert with Zetz Klezmer Ensemble. This multigenerational workshop will be open to all. Bring your instruments! 

Zetz, which means to jab or poke in Yiddish, is an energetic, entertaining ensemble that charms audiences across all age groups. Their music is firmly based in klezmer traditions of Eastern European Jews, but also draws inspiration from across the world. These creative musicians weave the intimacy of European chamber music together with the infectious fun and entertainment of a dance band.

The Skirball Cultural Center is a place of meeting guided by the Jewish tradition of welcoming the stranger and inspired by the American democratic ideals of freedom and equality. We welcome people of all communities and generations to participate in cultural experiences that celebrate discovery and hope, foster human connections, and call upon us to help build a more just society.
