On Sunday, from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m., there will be a concert of music about the Jordan River, performed by Christian, Jewish, and Muslim musicians, at Kane Street Synagogue, 236 Kane Street (between Clinton and Court) in Cobble Hill. The concert, at which refreshments will be served, is co-sponsored by the Synagogue and by the Interfaith Center of New York, and is to raise funds for American Friends of the Earth Middle East in its efforts to restore the Jordan River, which has become seriously depleted, in large part because of diversions for agriculture. Admission is $20 for adults and $12.50 for children, payable by check made out to Friends of the Earth Middle East, and is tax deductible.
