Light, Love, Life & Family – Kabbalat Shabbat / CANCELLED

01.01.1970 - 18:00 / Tempel Synagogue, ul. Miodowa 24

Maya Belsitzman & Matan Ephrat return to the Jewish Festival in Krakow for an intimate Friday evening Kabbalat Shabbat celebration, joined by an expanded ensemble. 

Shabbat represents family, love, closeness, and light. It’s that moment in the week when everything slows down and families come together—the essence of life itself. Playing with children, sharing songs, gathering with friends and extended family. A moment of quiet and creating shared experiences. 

This performance embodies these very elements—love songs, light-filled music that inspires hope, instrumental pieces that celebrate life, and Shabbat piyutim (liturgical poems) from family traditions passed down through generations. 

The program includes beautiful pieces such as the piyut “Yedid Nefesh,” love songs including well-known standards like “At Last” original instrumental compositions, klezmer music and more.

Matan Ephrat – percussions
