From Bombyx Center for Arts & Equity, 2 tickets to Yagody on April 16, 2026.

The Ukrainian band "YAGODY" originated after Zoriana Dybovska's previous project in Donetsk. In 2010, Mykola Huseynov proposed creating a band called "Khrushchi v Borschi" to perform and popularize Ukrainian music in the East. The group existed for four years but disbanded due to the onset of hostilities in the Donbas region. In 2014, Zoriana, along with her son, had to leave Donetsk and relocate to a safe territory. However, she didn't abandon the idea of reviving and reinterpreting folk songs. In June 2016, the band "Yа́gody" was founded in Lviv, with Zoriana as the driving force and participants being talented actresses she taught stage speech. Together, they explored the Ukrainian repertoire through artistic "home expeditions" and learned to play musical instruments.

The band's name emerged accidentally. At their first performance (Lviv Book Forum, 2016), the moderator Volodymyr Biehlov announced the band as "Yagody" (in English - Berries). By 2017, at the "Muszelki Wigier" festival in Suwalki, Poland, due to another host's carelessness, the band's name changed to "Yagódy."

Rabbah Riqi will work with you to design and create a creative ritual, such as for a big or small (but meaningful) life cycle moment, healing or transition in your life or your family. Judaism and most cultures mark some moments more than others (birth, b'nei mitzvah, weddings, loss), but there are so many moments in our lives that call out for marking sacred time or a ritual to mark a transition, express feelings, enter a new phase, or honor a passage, a first, a loss, a triumph, or an anticipated moment of change or a new journey. Rituals could be literally anything or I will work with you to find a moment to honor. Some examples could be for weaning a child, getting a first tooth, healing, hanging a mezuzah at college, moving to a new house, honoring a milestone birthday, releasing a butterfly, coming out as LGBTQIA+, caring for an elder, starting/stopping driving, new job, anniversary, or a stage in the life of a beloved pet. Your ritual can be infused with traditional elements and creative, Jewish, multi-faith and personal additions.

Thank you for supporting my beloved synagogue!
