Discover Venice’s centuries-old Jewish history and celebrate its beautiful music and sumptuous food in this vivid, colorful travelogue. The multitalented performer Hershey Felder travels to the fabled City of Canals to uncover the rich, often overlooked period when Jews long endured a complex relationship within Venetian society. Joining him are theater stars Tovah Feldshuh and Eleanor Reissa, Israeli cellist Amit Peled, and the spirited ensemble Klezmerata Fiorentina. Traversing Venice’s baroque beauty by foot and gondola, this global group of friends, artists, and historians share personal stories, sing and play music, and dine together, a splendid reflection of Jewish identity and art, and a feast for the eyes, ears, and soul.
