Once again, the Holocaust Remembrance Foundation of the Valley (hrfv.org) is bringing Klezmer music to the Temecula Valley. Mark your calendars for Sunday, August 16th, 2026 at 4:00 pm, as the renowned Klezmer musicians, Yale Strom and Hot Pstromi will be back in town at a new venue this year - Monteleone Meadows in Murrieta. Food and refreshments (alcoholic and non-alcoholic) will be available for purchase. Opportunity drawing tickets will be available for some exciting prizes and a 50/50 drawing, as well, as this event is a fundraiser for the building of the Holocaust Educational Memorial.

So what is Klezmer music you ask? It is the musical equivalent of a Jewish family gathering - one minute it's laughing, the next it's crying, and somehow it's dancing the whole time.

Originating in the Jewish communities of Eastern Europe, Klezmer blends joyful melodies, soulful sighs, foot-stomping rhythms, and plenty of spirited improvisation. The clarinet often steals the show, sounding as if it's telling a funny story, sharing a heartfelt memory, and inviting everyone onto the dance floor all at once.

Doors open at 3:30 pm. We hope to see you there!
