Our musical journey will explore beautiful\, romantic expressions of love from some of the greatest masters of the genre\, including George Gershwin\, Irving Berlin\, Jerome Kern\, Jerry Bock\, Richard Rodgers\, and Cole Porter.Musical Guides:Vladimir Fridman – Guitar & VocalsBob Abbott – ContrabassChristine Kharazian – Violin \n\n\n\nPoetry & Discussion – From the first moments in the Garden of Eden to the modern verses of Yehuda Amichai\, we will travel through time to read and discuss a broad\, eclectic curation of Jewish love texts—both classical and contemporary.You – Bring an open heart and a desire to unwind. Come ready to relax\, enjoy great music\, and connect with a community of peers as we discover the many dimensions of love this Tu B’Av.Admission: $25 JCC Members / $30 Non-members
