A festival of Jewish music & Jewish food

Aotearoa Slow Food, the Wellington chapter of the international Slow Food Movement and the Klezmer Rebs join forces to present an evening celebrating Jewish music and food with non-stop music from New Zealand's leading exponents of klezmer—the traditional dance and wedding music of East European Jews. An authentic meal of European Ashkenazi and Oriental Sephardic Jewish food will be prepared by Wellington restaurateurs, Maria Pia De Razza-Klein and Richard Klein along with members of Aotearoa Slow Food.

Proceeds from the event will be donated in support of the New Zealand delegates who will travel to Turin, Italy, in October 2008 to attend the Slow Food event Terra Madre, the world's largest gathering and forum of farmers and food producing communities.
