Mission Statement
The Westchester Klezmer Program is a not-for-profit corporation that operates as a music performance program to promote community service through klezmer (a traditional form of Jewish dance music) music performances. Members participate in community service by giving frequent public performances of klezmer music at nursing homes, programs for children with special needs, programs for developmentally disabled adults, synagogues, and other community based events. The goals of the program are achieved through multigenerational participation. Adults and teens take part by attending rehearsals and performing at concerts along side the children, helping to keep the students engaged in the program, providing them with appropriate modeling, and assisting at rehearsals. Participating synagogues have approved the program as a community service project for musicians who are preparing for their bar/bat mitzvah.

Leadership
Mrs. Mindy Hermann-Zaidins
Profile:
Mindy Hermann-Zaidins founded The Hermann Group, Inc. in 1988, specializing in content development for marketing campaigns. She holds an B.S. in public health from UCLA and an MBA from New York Unversity. She and her husband, Eric Zaidins, a NY based lawyer and administrative law judge, founded the klezmer program in 2001 as a way for their sons to perform klezmer at their b'nei mitzvah in 2003 and to fulfill their synogogue's community service requirement. In 2005, after a growth of the program from 7 musicians at its inception to 70, the program was incorporated under NY state law and filed for its 501(c)(3) status which was granted in June 2005.
