In case you might have missed our most recent gig Camping with My Kids & a Whole Bunch of Jam Bands last June, you all have a second chance to join up with the Whole Phamily crew in just a few weeks!
We are so thrilled to be a part of Blues for Challah: The Second Set, a "weekend-long workshop exploring the spiritual and mystical aspects of the Grateful Dead and Bob Dylan," writes Seth Rogovoy on his Rogovoy Report. Whole Phamily is heading up the programs for children on Friday night and Shabbat morning.
In case you were wondering, my friendly friends, this is a pluralistic event, welcome folks of all persuasions (but a love of the Grateful Dead is sorta the point...). You don't have to be Jewish, but it don't hurt to be, neither. And, in case you were wondering, my frum friend or relative (yep, Heshy, I'm talkin' to you), this is, indeed a shabbaton. Just different than my 8th grade experience. I have desired to attend an event at Isabella Freedman and its affiliate Elat Chayyim since the mid '90s, living as a single working woman on Upper West Side. It is finally, baruch hashem, coming to fruition! And on the cusp of mine and Stango's 11th wedding anniversary and right after my birthday, no less. Someone is surely watching over us for the good.
C'mon Children! Shabbat Fun for Kids
Pipe cleaner creations and a fun food craft are among just the many exciting things we have planned for kids of all ages. Concealed Light, The Wolfman and the Wolfman's Brother will be there ready to have a whole lot of fun with all the kids. We'll sing classic tot-shabbat tunes, do puppet shows and read stories. We will talk about that week's torah portion, Vayishlach, in an interactive way and maybe even make up a skit about it! Who knows, maybe kids will even get to borrow their very own Pez dispensers as a shabbat treat on Friday night. Parents, just be chill with the food coloring, ok? It's 12 tiny pieces of candy! And if the goats are willing, maybe we'll take a walk over and say 'mehhhhh! So much more can and will happen. Anyone under the age of 21 who is shlepped along for this epic shabbaton is a lucky one and for sure should be grateful!
Stango will likely be found during those times in the shul, but off-the-record will be available for any brain-talk-walk therapy and of course discussion of chassidus and Jerry that folks might be interested in.
For more info, read what Seth Rogovoy wrote on his blog regarding the event.
(remember when I reviewed Rogovoy's book on Dylan?)
Or what Josh Fleet wrote in his Huffington Post coverage.
All-inclusive prices, which include farm-to-table food and wine and lodging, begin at $233 for the 2-night event. EARLY BIRD REGISTRATION DISCOUNT EXTENDED UNTIL TODAY NOVEMBER 9, 2012!

Have a good Shabbes, have a good show!
