Dear friends & colleagues,

I'll be in the USA most of the summer with an exciting and busy schedule of concerts, festivals, workshops and retreats. I hope to see many of you at these events. See below for details. The February tour to South Africa was fantastic. It's such a beautiful country and I met so many wonderful people. I hope to return next year.

My fiddle and harp duo, Tzalool, has just released our first CD. Produced in Israel, the recording is not yet online or in the shops. However you can order directly from me via email. Details below.

                           Have a great summer!

B'Vrakha (blessings),
