Wolfgang Fasser, born and raised in the countryside outside of Zurich, was always most at home in nature and in looking for God. He became blind at 18 and went on to study music therapy and physical therapy. He became a healer and receiver of healing in Lesotho, a small country in Africa, where he continues to travel a few months per year. Wolfgang worked for many years at Romena, a spiritual retreat center in the Casentino, a rustic area of Tuscany in Italy. In addition to leading groups for week long silent working meditations and therapeutic groups, he has taken groups of sighted people through the forest in the dark. Recently Wolfgang has returned to Switzerland where at 66, he can receive more care for himself, and where he continues to practice his therapies. In addition he plays the saxophone in an ongoing Klezmer band started in Italy. We touch on the phenomenon of putting people on pedestals, the fact that he is often seen as “amazing”, something he protests.

Folk-punk Yiddishist Daniel Kahn speaks beautifully about community creation, autonomous cultural zones, and future-gazing.

“It helps me to sing songs about the future that people back then imagined. In doing that, you can uncover all of these dreams that people had that didn’t come to fruition - and that didn’t mean that they were bad dreams. It didn’t mean that they were false hopes. A lot of those dreams were useful to the present.”

Today, we're talking Black Lives Matter, multicultural community and UNITY!

Joining me in the first hour is Jessieca McNabb, comedian, co-host of Harambee Radio,No One Like You and oft guest on My Kingston Kids on Radio Kingston... and an active member of the Harambee Coalition, a mid-Hudson valley coalition that supports and promotes the strength of our community through cultural and educational events that enriches the lives of youth and adults. You can also catch Jessieca's last appearance on "i want what SHE has" Episode #106, from February 5, 2020.

Joining Jessieca is Monique Tinsley, Jessieca's "day 1," who is also a vital member of the Harambee Coalition, working with Jessieca on initiatives to protect and restore the African Burial Ground on Pine Street and the upcoming online Juneteenth Celebration taking place online this Saturday from 1-4pm.

The Juneteenth holiday is considered the "longest running African-American holiday"[22] and has been called "America's second Independence Day". This Saturday's Celebration will take place live on Harambee's Facebook page to celebrate and remember the African-American Independence from slavery in America. This online festival will entertain, encourage and educate guests on parts of the African-American experience. This is a family friendly event which will include song, dance, spoken word, history, talk and more from various participants at locations throughout Kingston. This event is in loving Memory of Pastor Paul Worthington.

Jessieca and Monique speak with me about the Black Lives Matter protests, Juneteenth, the African Burial Ground and the importance of self care. Words they shared that I want to amplify are the need for white people to really pause regularly and soak up the reality of the black experience in the past few hundred years so that we don't stop the pressure until there's real equality and appreciation for black lives.

In the second half of the show I am joined by Sarah Litvin, PhD., Director of the Reher Center for Immigrant Culture and History to talk about the Multicultural Festival that is happening online now. The online festival website is the host to rich content from our diverse history and community; performances, cooking instructional videos, greetings in various languages, a list of our diverse restaurant scene and a community quilt.

Joining Sarah are three members from the band, Caprice Rouge, Laura Crimmins, Karen Levine, and Elena Erber, who are participating performers in this year's online festival.

Caprice Rouge is an acoustic ensemble from the Mid-Hudson Valley of New York State playing Balkan, Roma-Gypsy and Klezmer dance tunes! Performing on traditional instruments including accordion, violin, bouzouki, gypsy jazz guitar, clarinet, and percussion, the band is happy to play for dancers, revelers, and listeners at taverns and cafes, festivals and farmers’ markets, at weddings and other celebrations!

Stay tuned for live performances by the band once we're safe for social distancing, and in the meantime, join in the online festival which will continue to have more content added to it in the coming weeks!

Today’s show was engineered by Nick Panken of Radio Kingston, www.radiokingston.org.

We heard music from Caprice Rouge and Shana Falana.

This week on, “Inside the Skev” we interview Lorri Lippitz from the Maxwell Street Klezmer Band. We discuss her passion for music, Yiddish and connections to Jewish culture through music. We also discuss her goals in sustaining music and Yiddish to future generations and how children can get involved.

Lori Lippitz is the founder and manager of the Maxwell Street Klezmer Band, which has toured the US and Europe and recorded six CDs. After studying Slavic Languages and Literature at the Universities of Michigan and Chicago, she devoted herself to restoring the “joy of klez” to the Chicago Jewish community. Under the auspices of the Klezmer Music Foundation, Lori started the Junior Klezmer Orchestra, mentoring young people in klezmer music and Yiddish songs. Among her other current Klezmer Music Foundation projects, she manages three congregational klezmer bands as well as the Salaam-Shalom Music Project, an interfaith orchestra combining members of Maxwell Street and members of the Chicago Muslim musical community. Lori also serves as a Cantorial Soloist at several congregations including the Jewish Reconstructionist Congregation (Evanston and Ahavat Olam (Glenview). More information on the Maxwell Street Klezmer Band can be found by clicking here.
