26th Annual Zlatne Uste Golden Festival, January 14 & 15, 2011
It's that time of year... the doldrums of January. Time to get out of your cave and get rejuvenated with 13 hours of Balkan music, dance, snacks, and fun. This year the Golden Festival will be held in a new spacious venue, Grand Prospect Hall in Park Slope, Brooklyn. More than 60 groups have applied to perform. Last year there were over 1800 attendees over the two nights, and this year we expect more.
The festival has always been a benefit for Balkan charities and educational institutions. Over the last several years we have given around $8000 to groups such as Mercy Corps, IRC, Heifer, East European Folklife Center, and Search for Common Ground.
The festival website (below) shows many pictures of the festival. If a picture would be useful for your needs, we can supply same.
Catch previews of the festival on WFMU-FM (Saturday January 8, 2011 at 6PM) and WNYC-FM (January 12, 2011 at 2:30PM). In addition 3 hours of the festival on January 15th will be broadcast live over WFMU with another 3 hours recorded for later broadcast.

Torah Study - 12/18 83 Marlborough Rd, Corner Church- All Invited!
Dear Torah Scholars,
This Saturday at 10 am we will have our study of the weekly Torah
portion. If possible, please read the Torah portion beforehand (but as
always, if you don't have a chance, come anyway). This week's Torah
portion is Vayechi, Genesis 47:28-50:26. If you don't have access
to a Bible, you can find a Hebrew-English or just English Bible here:
http://www.mechon-mamre.org/p/pt/pt0.htm.
If you'd like to read any commentaries, there are many online, for
example, here:
http://urj.org/learning/torah
Have a bagel and join in our always-lively discussion as we immerse
ourselves in the living waters of Torah, adding our voices and
thoughts to those of Jewish tradition.
I look forward to learning with you!
Shalom,
Rabbi Heidi Hoover
rabbinic intern, Temple Beth Emeth

$780 Lg Room in 4 Bedroom Victorian, January 1st, Ditmas Park! Q/B train (Brooklyn, Ditmas Park)
Rent: $780 w/ water & heat (gas, electric, internet not included)
Location: Argyle Road between Ditmas and Dorchester
Available Room: ~14' L x 11.5' W
-Large Closet ~4'10" wide x 1'8" deep
House Features:
-Washer/Dryer in kitchen (incredibly convenient!)
-Large kitchen with dinner table
-Full living room with chairs, table and futon for guests
-Front deck with table and chairs
-Large shared bathroom on 2nd floor (this bathroom is shared by 3 of the roommates, as one room has its own which helps keep the traffic moderate)
-Wireless Internet enabled (bill split 4 ways)
Subway: Q, B stops: Cortelyou & Newkirk -- only 4 blocks away! (< 3 minute walk)
F at 18th Ave -- 10 blocks away
Also close to the south entrance of Prospect Park!
Available On: January 1st (arrangements could be made to accommodate a sooner move)
What really makes this place special is the neighborhood. It is very quiet and safe, and is filled with enormous, beautiful trees. It hardly feels like Brooklyn when you're sitting on the front porch! However, the house is only one avenue away from the plethora of restaurants, delis, bars, coffee shops, bakeries and markets on Cortelyou road. There's a 24 hour deli and Dunk n' Donuts right around the corner. The neighborhood is very vibrant, friendly, safe and growing every month. You'll fall in love with it like I did (which is why I'm not moving far!).
You can see the house itself, the living room and deck, and the room for rent in the photos. For a sense of scale, that's a queen size bed, love seat and 50" TV, and the room also holds a full book shelf, computer desk and dressers.
The remaining roommates are comprised of two girls and one guy, all mid-late twenties. The house is relatively quiet with plenty of privacy, and non-cigarette smoke friendly. No cats or dogs. This is not a party house, but occasional get togethers are fine. Everyone is very friendly and guests are welcome!
If you're interested please contact me as soon as possible at whatamunky@gmail.com. This is a fantastic space! Don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions about the apartment. I am available to show the room most hours all week.

Couple more pics
2 Desks and a Couch
1) Drafting Desk purchased from IKEA (70). An awesome, spacious, desk for those who want a big surface area, without taking up much space.
2) Hardwood Trestle Desk (225). Also extremely spacious, with shelves too. But because it's also open concept, it doesn't take up a lot of room. Made out of really sturdy, dark, hardwood, this piece of furniture was really made to last.
3) Awesome, chic, luxe, couch (400). This ones really hard to describe, because its one of a kind, and, AWESOME! High back and arms, so you can really sink into it, and designed in this one of a kind striped, pattern, that always reminds me of x-ray specs. A real piece of furniture for someone looking for something really special. The type of piece you could design a whole room around, if you wanted, or that would give any room some real character.
We live right off Cortelyou, in an elevator building. So, it's about as easy as it gets.
