Jewish County Fair

What you get when three veteran Jewish community activists sit down and finish a bottle of Japanese Single Malt Whiskey.


Late last spring, I sat down with Bill Kaplan, director of the Shalom Institute, and Craig Taubman, impresario, musician, and creator of Friday Night Live, to discuss super-sizing a community harvest celebration that has been going on at Shalom Institute for a many years.

What resulted is one cool new Jewish community event. Collaboration can do those things. We hope that you will be inspired by the idea of a Jewish County Fair as much as we are, and see the possibilities that are endless. Craig and Bill are doing all the heavy lifting, their offices are a non-stop beehive of activity, putting together an event in months that usually takes a year.

This is our BETA year, tickets are practically free, and the event is phenomenal. Spread the word on Facebook!
