“Funky Music With a Jewish Twist” is what Mama Doni (aka Doni Zasloff) and her Band
will bring to Tikvat Israel on Sunday, December 13 in a free concert open to the
entire community. Winners of the 2008 “Simcha Award” at the International Jewish
Music Festival in Amsterdam, the Band’s repertoire is a wild mix of musical
styles–reggae, folk, classic rock, country, hip hop, klezmer, and theatrical–woven
together with Yiddish terms and Jewish themes. And it’s suitable for everyone, from
“Babies to Bubbies”–hip young kids and their even hipper parents and grandparents.
The Mama Doni Band is performing 13 concerts during December alone, in Los Angeles,
Massachusetts, New York, and New Jersey, but this is the only one in the Greater
Washington area, so don’t miss it! Read more about Mama Doni at www.mamadoni.com

The Concert begins at 4:30 pm, and is followed by Hanukkah candle lighting, the
Hebrew Day Institute (HDI) Choir, dreidel playing, and Hanukkah crafts. There will
be a brisket & latke dinner; tickets for the dinner are $12 for adults and $9 for
children. To RSVP for the dinner (deadline is Dec. 6) or for more information,
