Barbara
Ribakove Gordon, who is now 80 years old, went to Ethiopia in 1981 with the
first American mission to Ethiopian Jewish villages. The group trekked through
the rugged Semien Mountains in northern Ethiopia to reach an isolated Jewish
village. From there they went to Israel to report what they had seen: appalling
poverty and illness – and awe-inspiring dignity and Jewish commitment. In 1982,
a handful of dedicated men and women met in Barbara Ribakove Gordon’s New York
apartment to organize the North American Conference on Ethiopian Jewry
(NACOEJ). As Executive Director, Barbara was summoned to Ethiopia in May, 1991,
to participate in Operation Solomon. With opposing Ethiopian armies holding
fire in a temporary armistice, she and two other volunteers helped the Israelis
process over 14,000 Ethiopian Jews at the Israeli embassy in Addis Ababa for
the historic 36-hour airlift to Israel. The NACOEJ group flew out on the last
plane. Today under Barbara’s leadership, NACOEJ has over 50,000 supporters and
a record of rescuing thousands of Ethiopian Jews from famine, civil war, and
persecution. Barbara Ribakove Gordon was named “Unsung Hero of the Year” in
1986 by the New York Jewish Week, was honored by the City Council of New York
in 2004, and received the Rabbi Samuel S. and Irma Cohon Foundation Award for
2010.

Fiddlie-I-Ay playing at Kitzel's |
at KITZEL'S
Saturday, Sept 22
6-8pm
You can delight in delicious delicatessen
delicacies while being entertained by local family band Fiddlie-I-Ay and
Seattle favorites Small Time Stringband. Then bust out your own
instrument and pull up a chair for an open old time music jam. Fiddlie-I-Ay is a family stringband from Olympia, Washington. Sisters Maggie and Ruby Neatherlin anchor the band on fiddle and mandolin. They are backed up on banjo, ukulele, guitar by their parents Erik Neatherlin and Emily Teachout and and family-friend Rich Hoey
on
bass. They play rolicking old time fiddle tunes, vintage songs, and
mountain ballads with the aim of making you smile, and maybe even dance,
to their lively old timey tunes! They were recently featured on a
compilation album of kid-oriented music called PB & Jam with their
mentor Professor Banjo and are often seen busking around town or playing
for square dances and parties.
The Smalltime Stringband is a family band that plays old time music in and around Seattle Washington. The two brothers in the band, Oliver and Eli, have been playing music for as long as they can remember. They also love busking on the streets of Seattle and gained their inspiration from the Northwest fiddlers and string bands in the area. They've got a brand new CD out called "Perfect Pitch" featuring Oliver's rip-roaring fiddle and Eli's steller banjo playing.
Suggested donation $5 per person/$15 per family requested.

Speaker : Israeli activist Jeff Halper
JEFF HALPER
Director of the Israeli Committee Against House Demolitions
Thursday, September 20th
7:00 – 8:30 PM
at KITZEL'S
A
Jewish Israeli, Jeff Halper has been an advocate for justice
and civil rights for all Israelis and Palestinians. He spent ten years
as a community worker in Jerusalem aiding low-income Mizrahi families.
In 1997, Halper co-founded ICAHD to challenge and resist the Israeli
policy of demolishing Palestinian homes in the Occupied Territories, and
to organize Israelis, Palestinians and international volunteers to
jointly rebuild demolished Palestinian homes. He has created a new mode
of Israeli peace activity based on nonviolent direct action and civil
disobedience in the Occupied Territories. Halper was nominated for the
Nobel Peace Prize by the American Friends Service Committee for his work
"to liberate both the Palestinian and the Israeli people from the yoke
of structural violence" and "to build equality between their people by
recognizing and celebrating their common humanity".
This event will be moderated by Rabbi Yohanna Kinberg.

Opening - New Art at Kitzel's - Mary Elizabeth Evans
Art Opening this Wednesday, Aug. 15 7pm-9pm. Come chat with the artist.
Stay for Radio8Ball at 9pm.
Hi!
My name is Mary. This is a collection of 45 doodles that document my daily life. I found that after graduating school it was hard for me to transition the way that I made art. My doodle diary was a way for me to make myself draw every single day even if I didn't feel like it. I trusted myself with the help of this book that I wouldn't stop drawing. I got the idea from one of my professors Ruth Hayes who has kept daily doodle books and encouraged her students to do so as well. I have really enjoyed keeping this book and being able to look back at my daily activities and the way my life functions, or I guess the way that I perceive it. Sometimes when I am having a really shitty day it's nice to look through the pages and think "On hey! It's not always this way!" Then I can draw a self portrait of me looking real grumpy and move on to the next day. At first I felt a little insecure about showing this project because the work is so simple and quick but it is also honest and personal and I think that's important.
xoxo
Mary

Professor Banjo |
Professor Banjo is Paul Silveria, a Northwest musician steeped in the traditions of earlier generations. Participation is a vital element in Paul’s work - from community square dances, to family song workshops, to kids' shows.
His latest release showcases some great moments as kids join the fun! Last spring while recording the album, "PB and Jam," Professor Banjo also recorded a sold out live show at Empty Sea studios in Seattle. The Professor has been engaging crowds of all ages with his unique, interactive show for years, and now that interactive spark has been captured on a 6 track EP: Live in Seattle! The release of this new album comes at an important time for Paul.
After growing his music in the rich soil of Portland OR, he has now transplanted to Vancouver BC, where a whole new audience is discovering his music for the first time. Paul has been a regular at festivals in Washington and Oregon, like Seattle’s Folklife, and the Portland Old Time Music Gathering, now he is beginning to explore his new stomping grounds with appearances at the Hornby Island Festival, Vancouver’s In The House Festival, and Nimble Fingers Bluegrass and Old Time Camp (in Sorrento BC).
Professor Banjo - “Live in Seattle!” Available July 1st, 2012 at www.CDbaby.com/Artists/ProfessorBanjo Website: www.ProfessorBanjo.com Contact: Paul Silveria: ProfessorBanjo@gmail.com

Chi-Bekah |
The imagery will have a voice to them by spoken word and rehearsed script repeated melodically and supported by environmental “noisescape” composed by the artists. The art show will allow a loose level of participation by simple observation and participation framed by manipulating the show's icons over and over. This show is about a generation trapped in immediacy.
The digital applications focus primarily on society’s inabilities to communicate without tools. "We are asking the audience to step back from their daily cellular entrapment. Our collaboration will focus on play its innate interest in its purest form."
The artists will be using transparency over head projectors and video imagery from both our portfolios.
