This is a most exciting program, featuring both the incredibly talented and engaging performer, Joshua Nelson, "The Prince of Kosher Gospel," and the legendary Gospel and R&B singer, Cissy Houston, the mother of Whitney Houston.

And as if this weren't enough, we have also been blessed with the presence of an important Jewish Obama relative, Rabbi Capers Funnye Jr., a prominent rabbi from Chicago and close relative of Michelle Obama, who will also participate in an interview with Haim Handwerker, Haaretz correspondent and SWFS member.
