A large crowd turned out for a concert by Oran Etkin and his band at the Jewish Museum in New York on Monday. The Jewish Museum and the Museum at Eldridge Street both featured concerts with performers steeped in the Jewish klezmer tradition. The Museum at Eldridge Street had more than 500 visitors on Monday, at least five times the number for a standard weekday.
