NJJFF extra! Presents The Klezmatics: On Holy Ground

NJJFF extra! presented by the New Jersey Jewish Film Festival will feature The Klezmatics: On Holy Ground on Saturday, February 5, 7:30pm, at the Leon & Toby Cooperman JCC, Ross Family Campus, 760 Northfield Avenue, West Orange.  Snow date: February 26

 

The Grammy award winning Klezmatics are the masterful architects of the dynamic musical bridge between the lost shtetls of Eastern Europe and 21st century culture. This feature length documentary film takes us on an intimate journey that reverberates with the joyous sound of the band’s beginnings on New York City’s Lower East Side more than 20 years ago and back to Krakow, Poland.
