I'll be in Toronto next week (July 10-12). Do they have anything planned 
for those days?
Also, why is the Ashkanaz Festival of Yiddish Music on a Friday night, 
when observant Jews would not be able to attend? I don't begrudge anyone 
else to do whatever they want on Shabbos, but courtesy and a desire for 
the largest possible audience would be good reasons to make this concert 
accessible to all.
