Mama Doni Band
Mama Doni's songs are a breath of fresh air for
everyone from "Babies to Bubbies" - hip young kids
and their even hipper parents and grandparents. "I
Love Herring!" will be
especially appreciated by those with an
understanding of Jewish and Yiddish culture, but its
universal themes of
love and laughter are filled with musical and
lyrical surprises that appeal to people of all ages,
backgrounds, and religions! Every genre, including
reggae, folk, classic rock, country, hip hop,
klezmer, and theatrical. This wild mix of musical
styles is
woven together with
Yiddish terms and Jewish themes. The energized and
unconventional songs are each stories unto
themselves, with characters you can't help but love,
like Bubbie, the Cowgirl Jew, The Jewperheroes, and
Shlomo the Gefilte Fish. Show begins at 2:30pm.

A Dolphin Up a Tree
It's a magic day for
Tina Talkington and her animals! Tina cast a magic
spell to make her stuffed animals talk! Owl, Fox and
Beaver sprung to life, but now her little brother is
a Giant Baby and Tina has turned herself into a
Dolphin up a tree! How will the animals learn to
work together and get Dolphin out of the tree? Owl
sings, "fly." Fox sings, "learn to walk." Beaver is
busy building a bathtub. In this hilarious and
interactive combination of comedy, songs, slapstick
and drama, the different animals learn how to
co-operate and help Dolphin. Kids yell out answers
to help the animals and Tina learn to understand
their differences - even appreciate them! For ages 2
– 8 years old. Show begins at 11:30am.

 The
YM-YWHA of North Jersey extends a special thank
you to Sammans Electronics, Virginia Michaels
and Amy Lewin!
Our own Amy Lewin is at it again! Amy thought
it would be a great idea to offer cooking
classes for children here at the Y. She found
out that the missing ingredient to having these
classes, would be a stove. It didn’t take Amy
long to contact Sammans Electronics and with the
help of Virginia Michaels, the Y now has a much
needed stove. The Y is grateful to our
community partners such as Sammans who help us
to provide activities, classes and arts to our
valued members of the community.
Watch for our
upcoming cooking classes and for more
information on our class offerings!
