“Quotables”
The late Don Rickles – yes, the Don Rickles – upon hearing Tzimmes at the River Rock Casino (November 6, 2005), had this to say:
“I love your music, it’s wonderful. You should come to Vegas – but they probably wouldn’t know what to make of you!”

"All of Tzimmes’ music was amazing, but we are especially thankful for how your band led the Hora! It would not have been the same without your hora expertise!"
- Rebecca Shalansky and Evan Gropper, August 2023

If you wish to reprint for a class, or publish elsewhere online, please let us know – no copying for sale is permitted without our express agreement.
You can order our recordings and written music, from our online distributor, oySongs, or from us. You can listen to some excerpts here, and to excerpts of all tracks on oySongs and choose what you like. You can buy individual tracks or complete albums.
By all means let us know what you think of our work, and our website; and if you have a question about Jewish Music or a song in particular, time-permitting we will be happy to respond. Enjoy your time with us, and as we say when taking our leave of each other at a Jewish celebration – oyf simkhes (Yiddish), or bismakhot (Hebrew) – may we always meet on happy occasions.
