SIMPLY TSFAT!

13 JUNE 02: SIMPLY TSFAT!

SIMPLY
TSFAT
is three Breslev Chassidim, 2 Americans and one Israeli, 2 guitars
and one violin. Our aim is to spread the joy and inspiration of Breslev
Chassidim and to bring a breath of fresh air to you, from our home, the
mystical city of Tsfat, the home of the Kabala.

In New York, Philadelphia,
Montreal, Miami, San Diego, Portland, Guatemala and Costa Rica our audiences
have ranged from Jewish inmates at Federal Penitentiaries to 4000 people
at an Israel 2000 event at the Greek Theater in LA, from Chassidic children
in Cheder to Conservative congregants, from Israeli Army bases in the Golan
to skid row in Los Angeles (REALLY!) and old age homes too.

Our recordings “Fresh Air”
and „Be Happy‰ on tape or CD and are available in most fine Judaica stores
or through:


Sameach Music

1-888-3-SAMEACH or 718.479.4507

Fax: 718-479-4593

Have a SIMPLY TSFAT event
in your community and give yourselves a breath of fresh air!!”
