[...] The SIMCHA VIII: The Meeting with Jewish Culture starts on 08.06.2006. We interviewed the director of the festival, Karolina Szykierska, and asked her some basic questions about the festival (its name, history, this year’s programming etc.). If you are curious but not sure what to expect from this festival, our video could serve you as an introduction. The music used in the video is by The Synagogue “Under A White Stork” Choir. The Synagogue “Under A White Stork” Choir celebates its 10 anniversary at this SIMCHA and sings at its opening concert.
