school at the Stephen Wise Free
Synagogue, a Reform congregation in
Manhattan.
"I'm extremely spiritually rooted in
Judaism, and that does include Jewish
music. If I'm moved by something, I
write music about it. It's important
that music come from a real, honest
place within you."
Rabbi Balfour Brickner of Stephen
Wise praised Wetzler's music, saying
"her engaging spirit comes through in
everything she does, whether singing
her own material or drawing from
other sources."
She is a frequent lecturer on Jewish
music, discussing everything from the
careers of "show biz divas, nice Jewish
girls" Barbra Streisand and Bette
Midler to adventures in Oriental and
Sephardic music.
Wetzler is also known for standing
up for what she believes in through
- 1 her music. Her single "Jesse Helms
Has Made a Radical Out of Me" was
an anti-censorship anthem that
became an instant cult hit. She attrib-
utes her willingness to speak out, in
part, to her father's experience in Nazi
Germany.
"My father was part of the Jewish
resistance, and he taught me that you
should speak up when things aren't
going right," said Wetzler. "I'm very
proud of that part of who I am," she
said. Fortunately, her father escaped
Germany.
One of Wetzler's most recent
projects grew out of her strong inter-
est in political and social issues.
"Jewels of the Diaspora" is a record-
ing and a concert tour that pairs
Jewish music with African-American
music. She appears with one of two
gospel singers — Janiece Thompson
or Randee Harris — at Jewish com-
munity centers and on college cam-
puses.
"I live in Brooklyn, and five years
ago when there were riots in Crown
Heights, a group of musicians got
together to work against the violence,"
she said. "It was very necessary for
people in the community to see us
working together, showing that we
had more in common than we had
differences."

"Best of Award of Excellence"

The Wine Spectator

"Great steak, fancy bar, swank
trappings-everything
a steak house should be."

"The national reputation
of The Capital Grille has
crowds beating
down the doors."
"The Capital Grille is the
place to see and be seen."

"Not only is the menu beefy, but the
portions are gigantic... these steaks,
with some bite to them, have a
full meaty flavor...the wine list is enough
to keep you entertained for many visits."
