At 4:00 pm, join Yaala Ballin and her band as they present some of their favorite gems of the Great American Songbook. They will be presenting and sharing about songs that tell stories of love, friendship and life.

Snacks throughout the program will be available from Tsion Cafe, a Harlem-based vegan and kosher restaurant celebrating Pan-African love, Black Israeli pride and a passion for delicious vegan food backed by a full bar with international beers and wines. Tsion Cafe is a place where the flavors of Ethiopia, Israel and New York are beautifully harmonized.
