We are proud to announce our Festival headliners for this year are THE AGGROLITES who are headlining main concert on Saturday night at Jewlicious Festival 8.0

The have graced the stages of such venerable festivals such as: Coachella, Vans Warped Tour, SXSW, Bumbershoot, CMJ, Sundance Film Festival, L.A. Film Fest, Sunset Junction, Detour Music Fest, KROQ’s Weenie Roast, 94/9 Independence Jam and Ragga Muffins Fest.

“The group’s upbeat, soul-infused reggae attack puts the rock back in rocksteady. Mixing ska, Motown and punk-rock energy with Jamaican rhythm, The Aggrolites tear it up with the intensity of The Clash and the heart of the Caribbean.” – Ink Magazine (February 2009)

The Aggrolites are more than a band they are a movement unto themselves. Relish in The Aggrolites, the dirty reggae and the joy that comes with it all. The liberating rhythms and catchy grooves demand a return trip.The Aggrolites have earned a Ph.D in “feel good music.”

Concert only tickets will be on sale two weeks before Jewlicious, space permitting. To make sure you see this great act and all the others, buy a Festival pass today!

Luchtime Picnic at Camp Jewlicious, Brandeis-Bardin, 2010.

Don’t take it from us that Camp Jewlicious is the best time that any young Jewish adult can have this summer. Here are some replies to our survey after Camp last year:

CAMP JEWLICIOUS 2010- TESTIMONIALS

“My favorite part about Camp Jewlicious was the Carlebach services — with Yehuda from Moshav band!!!”

“My favorite part about Camp Jewlicious was being at summer camp again, with a havdallah bonfire and concert!”

“My favorite part about Camp was the relaxed camp atmosphere. The inclusion of all Jews regardless of background was amazing and a credit to Jewlicious programming. I can’t wait to see what next year is like!”

“The activities were awesome! I had an amazing day Saturday. I woke up, ate breakfast, did yoga, ate more, napped, ate lunch, did ropes course, swam, went on a hike, and then had dinner and an awesome concert.”

“I had a chance to experience Judaism in a different way then I am use to. Since I was borne and raised in Israel being religious is very limited in options of how religious you are. I got to experience faith in a setting that is more relaxed and open, and I really enjoyed it.”

“Hot-seat funders session was an opportunity for me to hear real feedback on my project proposal and to hear it discussed in a frank and open way.”

Hitting up Jewlicious

Hundreds of young Jews converged on southern California last month to eat weird challah, listen to funked-up traditional music and take part in the Jewish cultural orgy that was Jewlicious 7.0.

In the first soundslides ever created by New Voices, Judah Gross lets us meet the participants, see the sights and hear the music of Jewlicious. Take a look at Music Food and Jews in SoCal.

The Night of Unity honored Rhoda Weisman, an internationally recognized community leader, organizer, and activist.

The Jewlicious Festival culminated on Sunday, Feb. 27 with a unique and live webcast performance and Q&A session with international Grammy-nominated music sensation Matisyahu, who was unable to travel to the festival due to weather-related travel disruptions in Canada Other entertainers during the festival included The Sklar Brothers, Moshe Kasher, Fool’s Gold, Acharit HaYamim, Soulfarm, Leerone, and Kosha Dillz.

Some of the most popular sessions were standing-room-only, including presentations by David Fishof (creator of Rock and Roll Fantasy Camp now on VH1) and Tahlia Miller (filmmaker and wife of Matisyahu) speaking about “Chemical Love.” Other prominent presenters included Emmy Award winning Filmmaker Ezra Bookstein, award winning blogger David Abitbol, activist Eyal Aranoff, Media Strategist for Repair the World, Dan Seiradski, and storyteller and author of “Cool Jew” Lisa Klug.

In addition to the Sabbath banquets, workshops, wine tasting, Jewish meditation, henna tattoos, dance, yoga, and swimming, attendees also participated in an impromptu karaoke party on Saturday night from 2:00 to 6:00 a.m.

“The 2011 Jewlicious Festival exceeded all expectations,” noted Rabbi Yonah Bookstein, founder and director of the Jewlicious Festival. “Students, community leaders, and renowned entertainers from around the globe came together in this celebration of our shared heritage and culture. With this success, we are even more excited for our second annual summer festival, Camp Jewlicious, August 19-21st, where we take the magic of Jewlicious to Summer Camp.” he added.
