A cabaret collection of stories in song that has sold out shows from New York to Australia. Full of wry humour and intelligence.

Payazen! New-Wave Klezmer Concert
Payazen! Klezmer Band

Tracks: Music
Type: Performance
The music of Amsterdam-based Payazen! is firmly based in the tradition of the Jewish Diaspora, adding colours from across the musical spectrum. Using klezmer and Balkan melodies as their grounding point, Payazen! brings together the intimacy of European chamber music, the infectious groove of Jazz, the rhythmic complexity and accuracy of Karnatic (Indian Classical) Music and the trance-like state of Late 60s Psychedelia.
Performance: 'Cities of Light'
Rebecca Joy Fletcher
Location: Arts - Studio
Tracks: Drama, History, Music
Type: Performance
Cities of Light' is a theatrical and musical celebration of Jewish artists in the cabarets of 1920's and 30's Berlin, Paris, Warsaw, and Tel Aviv. This irreverent, moving one woman show has been hailed by critics and audiences across the US, Paris, and Warsaw; it also sold out London's Jewish museum last April. Most recent highlights: the theatrical premier of 'Cities' at the Piven Theatre in Chicago (Nov - Dec 2011).
What Is Halacha?
Samuel Lebens
Location: Sci 3
Tracks: Halacha, Philosophy
Type: Lecture
This sessions addresses a philosophical question from an orthodox perspective. What is halakha? Is it God-made, or man-made? Is there such a thing as halakhic reality? Is kosher food really any different to non-kosher food? Do putiry and impurity actually exist? Is there such a thing as the philosophy of halakha?
