Dec 9th concert
December 9th my wife and I went to the most amazing concert I’ve ever been to (and I’ve been to dozens) at an intimate venue called the Kung Fu Necktie. All Jewish performers and I’d estimate 90% or more Jewish fans from nearly all branches of the Judaic tree, 100% respect and love. We…
