Joel Ben Izzy is an internationally-touring storyteller. His latest book, "Dreidels on the Brain," is a Hanukkah story, circa 1971. Think Vietnam, Nixon, a nerdy 11 year-old boy, and the mystical power of the dreidel. http://storypage.com/
The Laketini cocktail, created by Maggid Jhos Singer, shows off the versatility of the potato, a staple food of Eastern European Jewry.
Kugelplex is California's rockin'est purveyor of the old-world Yiddish soul music tradition. Songs from the shtetls of old-world Eastern Europe and original compositions. http://kugelplex.com/

A former principal member of Katarina Burda's Aywah!
