The Jewish Federation of Sacramento presents the annual Jewish Heritage Festival. Building on the success of past Israel Independence day commemorations, the 2010 Jewish Heritage Festival will the centennial founding of the kibbutzim movement in Israel, and provide an opportunity to learn and act on Tikkun Olam (social action) initiatives and activities. This free event will feature live music, traditional food, entertainment, dancing troupes, cultural exhibits and displays, family and children's activities**, a special teen zone and more.
Matisyahu: Known for blending traditional Jewish themes with Reggae, rock and hip hop sounds, Matisyahu has released three studio albums as well as one live album, two remix CDs and one DVD featuring a live concert.
Few artists make an impact as complete as the one Matisyahu made with his 2004 Top 40 hit “King Without a Crown”: Here was a true original, a Hasidic Jewish musician from New York City singing reggae songs about his religious devotion. Fans responded to this one-of-a-kind voice, too, driving Youth, Matisyahu’s Grammy-nominated 2006 disc, to the top spot on Billboard’s reggae albums chart. That album, as well as Matisahu’s previous recording Live at Stubb’s, went Gold.
Matisyahu's 2009 single "One Day" was the official theme song for the 2010 Winter Olympics.
Here are some of the other: The Los Angeles Israeli Dance Team, Heritage Food Court, The Shuk - Israel Street Market, Kids Fun Zone**, Centennial Celebration of the Kibbutz Movement, Eco-Friendly Fashion Show & even a blood drive!!
