Ashkenaz (music venue)
The Ashkenaz is a live music and dance venue located in Berkeley, California in the United States. It is a non-profit organization. It focuses on world music. In 2011 it was voted the best place to dance by readers of ''East Bay Express''.
==History==
Ashkenaz opened in 1973 and was founded by performance artist and activist David Nadel. After relocating from Los Angeles to attend University of California, Berkeley, Nadel formed a dance troupe. The troupe started renting spaces on San Pablo Avenue. Nadel, along with six other people, would go on to buy the building where Ashkenaz is located today. He named the organization after his Ashkenazi Jewish ancestry. The original building was a series of old retail shops. Nadel and friends built the wooden facade that is seen today.〔 It is supposed to resemble an Eastern European synagogue.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.eastbayexpress.com/ebx/ashkenaz/Location?oid=1109232 )〕 It totals 5,000 square feet. In 1993, the city of Berkeley named the Ashkenaz a city landmark.
In 1996 a drunken patron was kicked out of the club by Nadel. The patron threatened to shoot Nadel. The man returned after Nadel closed the club for the evening and shot Nadel point blank in the head. Nadel died from the gunshot wound at the hospital and the man was never found. In wake of Nadel dying, a group of Ashkenaz patrons bought it, and then formed it into a nonprofit. It re-opened six months later, on June 21, 1997.〔
