Ezekiel's Wheels Klezmer Band
2023-03-26 15:00 - 17:00
Ezekiel’s Wheels Klezmer Band
Sunday, March 26 at 3PM

Internationally-acclaimed Ezekiel’s Wheels Klezmer Band brings passion, virtuosity, and
contagious energy to every performance. The Wheels improvise with the intimacy of
chamber music and the intensity of a rowdy dance band. Their engaging contemporary
interpretation of Jewish music is irresistible to audiences ranging from elementary school
students to the judges at the International Jewish Music Festival, who heralded them as “a
true musical democracy.”
The Wheels’ unique style was forged in the subway stations and farmers’ markets of
Boston, where the informal setting and ever-changing audience created an ideal
environment for musical experimentation. Over time, their repertoire grew to incorporate
original as well as traditional instrumental tunes, and in 2017 it further expanded to
include songs in Yiddish and English. Ezekiel’s Wheels features Abigale Reisman (violin,
backing vocals), Kirsten Lamb (double bass, lead vocals), Nat
Seelen (clarinet) and Pete Fanelli (trombone).
Tickets: $25 (under 13, $10), thanks to partial support from the Jewish
Women’s Endowment Fund of the North Shore, Wakefield Arts Council, and Congregation
Beth Israel of the Merrimack Valley.
Temple Emmanuel of Wakefield is located at 120 Chestnut St. Wakefield, MA 01880, and is
a member of Jewish Reconstructionist Communities.

Rabbi Greg's Presentation on his Sabbatical in India - Matza & Coffee!
2023-04-09 10:00 - 12:00
When Rabbi Greg was in India on Sabbatical, he constantly said to himself “Hodu LaShem Ki Tov” – a line from Psalms that means “Give thanks to G-d because G-d is goodness.”
Hodu means “give thanks” and it also means “India!”
So that line from Psalms can also be translated, “India, for G-d, for goodness.”
All are welcome to join Rabbi Greg for matzah and coffee as he presents pictures and videos from the birthplace of Hinduism, Buddhism, Sikhism, and Jainism.

Yom HaShoah Holocaust Memorial Event
2023-04-17 19:30 - 21:00
The Hebrew date for Yom HaShoah (27 Nissan) this year begins on the evening of Monday, April 17. Following up on the initiative to hold a Jewish community-wide Yom HaShoah ceremony, Temple Ner Tamid of Peabody has generously offered to host the ceremony at their synagogue that evening. NSRCA (North Shore Rabbis and Cantors Association) is sponsoring this event together with the JCCNS (Jewish Community Center of the North Shore), the Lappin Foundation and many of our synagogue communities.

The plan is to have a ceremony with readings and songs led by all of you who would like to participate and by teens from our communities, youth groups, and other Jewish teen leadership groups.

All are welcome to join the North Shore Jewish Communities and the Lappin Foundation for a solemn Holocaust memorial event. A survivor will be the keynote speaker. Temple Emmanuel of Wakefield is a co-sponsor of this event.
