metrosexual Yom Ha'atzmaut in das Capitale

I was invited by Dor Chadash to cover the "hot ticket" Yom Ha'atzmaut party in the Capitale club on Bowery.




So Gary says this used to be the Bowery Savings Bank before the club. I say Gary yank that vault, we bound to find something inside, this is a Little Italy after all… Gary says my family did business in this area for 100 years, they don’t make banks like that anymore.


Tuvia Tenenbom, the Artistic Director of the Jewish Theater says they just came back from performing in Germany. Definitely the most interesting man in the room and definitely not a metrosexual.


Pseudo urban outfits and black urban drums b’nusach Israel.








So I was sitting in Dan Hotel in Jerusalem. Listening to some yapping from Jake, looking at the amazing Sukkos scene at the hotel (another subject) and watching this gracious princess Nifertiti, standing there in the middle of room like an Etruscan goddess. So I see her dancing now. Is that you? I ask.


I don’t know says the Nefertity, but I have a relative in your town, the Zhviller Rebbe. How? I am Rivka Rokeach the Beltzer Einikle.






Another Einikle.






The club, the lighting, the music was outstanding.

Speaking about Nefirtiti. Ishtar is an Israeli singer born in Egypt. She made a career in Europe singing in Arabic with a Gypsy Kings clone group called Alabina. Here they are performing Yalla Bina Yalla the song originally sung by Egyptian singer Mohamed Fouad in 1990. This was an opening song in Capitale dance.
