Ladies and gents, believers and gentiles: Once again, it's time for the Jewlicious Fest in Long Beach, so mark Feb. 29 through March 2 on your calendars. If you haven't heard of Jewlicious, it's basically the Woodstock of Judaism, with three days of music, food and Kiddush Wine. A festival for the artist and the curious college student.
One highlight of the fest will be Brooklyn rapper Matisyahu, famous for his hit song "King without a crown," who will be speaking about spirituality. The event
Last weekend we spent some time at Jewlicious 4.0, the fourth installment of a festival aimed at young Jewish people from all over Southern California and beyond.

​Stare into the eyes of the blond Matisyahu. Okay, so maybe L.A. based singer songwriter Trevor Hall isn't sporting a yamika or insane beat-boxing skills, but after listening to his yelping, island-style vocals, it's easy to make the comparison.
