The Max and Tessie Zelikovitz Centre for Jewish Studies, in collaboration with the Embassy of Israel and the Canada-Israel Cultural Foundation welcome you to an evening with innovative Israeli ensemble Tafillalt.

This group of composers and performers navigate the multicultural soundscape of 21st-century Israel, presenting a deeply personal interpretation of various traditional and modern Jewish materials (sacred Hebrew poetry from North Africa and the Middle East, Hassidic Niggunim, modern secular Hebrew poetry and more), as well as their own original musical and literary compositions. Established in 2000, the members of the Tafillalt ensemble are also founding members of the Jerusalem contemporary music collective, Haoman Hai, a counterpart of the Radical Jewish Music projects in New York City. Tafillalt have performed widely throughout Israel, as well as the USA, England, Hungary, and Ukraine at venues including the Lviv Klezmer Fest, Jewish Summer Festival, Budapest, Wesleyan University, and the Israel National Museum. In addition to concert performances, the ensemble frequently gives workshops on both traditional and modern approaches to Jewish music.

The concert is the closing event for the Limmud adult learning conference being held on November 2 at the Soloway Jewish Community Centre. More information about the Limmud conference can be found at http://limmudottawa.ca/web/
