“We look forward to hosting Yalla Soul for the entire Philadelphia and South Jersey community,’’ said David Beck, Soul vice president of sales. “The Soul organization is committed to creating new programs.”
For Six13, the gathering is an opportunity to perform in front of one of their most supportive fanbases. “It’s really an honor to be part of the Soul’s very first Jewish Heritage Night,” said Michael Boxer, a member of Six13, which takes its name from the number of mitzvoth in the Torah. “The crowds in Philadelphia are great, and we can’t wait to take the stage and share our music with everyone.”
