Challahpalooza Music Fest a Big Hit in Massachusetts’ Berkshires
Lenox, MA — More than 500 people turned out for the second annual Challahpalooza: The Berkshire Jewish Music Festival. Held at the Duffin Theater in Lenox, Mass., smack dab in the middle of Massachusetts’ famous Berkshires vacation and cultural destination, the festival featured Klezmer artist Andy Statman.
“We are the premier cultural capital of the country,” said Rabbi Levi Volovik, co-director of the Pittsfield, Mass.-based Chabad of Berkshire County, which sponsored the event. “You find here more theatre, art and music than anywhere in the U.S. We’d like to spread the word that there can be Jewish music and entertainment in the Berkshires as well.”
The Berkshires are better known as the summer home of the Boston Symphony Orchestra.
A native of Brooklyn, N.Y., Volovik and his wife arrived in Pittsfield three years ago to establish a new Chabad House . The pair immediately realized that “good food and good music is a great way” to draw people and their hearts, said Sara Volovik.
