BOCA RATON, Fla., Nov. 22, 2010 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Downtown Boca Raton will be overflowing with love and nachas (pride) on December 18-19, at Fedstock, a groundbreaking, outdoor happening bringing the area's Jewish community together as never before. Jewish Federations, synagogues, schools and organizations are collaborating to pack beautiful Mizner Park Amphitheater at Matisyahu and Dudu Fisher concerts, and a spirited festival day for all ages.

"We're thrilled to welcome all to two extraordinary days celebrating and showcasing our vibrant multi-faceted, multi-generational Jewish community," said Cindy Orbach Nimhauser, Chair of Fedstock's presenter, the Jewish Federation of South Palm Beach County, which is proud to be partnering with the Greater Miami Jewish Federation, the Jewish Federation of Palm Beach County and the Jewish Federation of Broward County on the celebration.

Kicking off on Saturday, December 18 at 8:00 p.m. will be Grammy-nominated, internationally acclaimed Matisyahu. A Billboard Top Ten Reggae Artist and composer of the 2010 Winter Olympics anthem, "One Day," Matisyahu delivers bold, original performances inspired by universal and Jewish themes of peace and hope. Premiere seats are $85; general admission: $35.

From 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday, December 19, Fedstock will feature a free community festival, featuring local music, kosher food in the "Nosh Pit," "Dr. W's Kid Zone" Jewish-themed children's activities; a lively "shuk" marketplace and a showcase of local synagogues, Jewish schools and agencies. Non-perishable food donations will be collected for distribution by the Forster Family Kosher Food Pantry of Ruth Rales Jewish Family Service.

On December 19 at 8:00 p.m., Dudu Fisher, renowned Israeli cantor turned Broadway star, will headline. Famous as Broadway's stirring Jean Valjean in Les Miserables, Fisher's repertoire includes traditional and contemporary Israeli, Klezmer and Broadway offerings which play to sellout audiences around the world.
