We used to concentrate on klezmer, but the fact is that it is mainly used for
entrance music and background music at most of our simchas. Israeli is the
primary dance currency when the horas come. Now we are doing jazz, swing, pop
dance music (Beatles...) for many hours of the night. That was a little
disappointing for me at one point, but I realize that we are still providing
not only a core of Yiddishkeit, but also a Jewish soul to the party. And we do
not do the Electric Slide. Are those principals, or what?
