Daniel Kahn & The
Painted Bird In Concert

Detroit Jews for Justice, in partner-
ship with the Cohn-Haddow Center for
Judaic Studies, Birmingham Temple
Congregation for Humanistic Judaism
and the Workmen’s Circle/Arbeter Ring
(Michigan), are bringing the incredible
talents of Daniel Kahn & the Painted Bird
as well as Sacramento Knoxx to Marble
Bar in Detroit (1501 Holden St.) from 6-9
p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 25.
Tickets to this event can be purchased
at detroitjewsforjustice.org/painted_
bird_2018.
Based in Berlin, Daniel Kahn & the
Painted Bird make music, which has been
described as “a mixture of Klezmer, radi-
cal Yiddish song, political cabaret and

punk folk.” Kahn is from Detroit and stud-
ied theater at the University of Michigan.
Sacramento Knoxx is an Ojibwe and
Chicano rapper, multimedia performer
and community organizer based in
Detroit.
The evening will be a collage of funk,
jazz, indigenous rhythms, Jewish humor
and commentary on contemporary social
justice issues by artists who have com-
mitted their lives to tikkun olam, repair of
the world.
Proceeds from the concert will benefit
DJJ’s work for racial and economic justice
and Birmingham Temple’s efforts to sup-
port a local family of Syrian refugees. •
