The Ethical Culture Society will host a benefit for Develop, Don't Destroy Brooklyn, the organization that is defending Brooklyn from Ratner's mega-development project that would build 17 giant sky-scrapers in the heart of Brooklyn. Performers include Lisa Gutkin and Lorin Sklamberg of the world-famous Klezmatics, classical guitarist Robert Secrist, and Julia and Leela, the Jewel Odalisque Dancers.

The event will also feature a raffle with terrific prizes donated by local merchants, story-telling and sing alongs, a photo exhibition, local crafts and a Baker's Row featuring some of Brooklyn's top bakers: Erica's Rugelach and Baking Co., Regina Bakery, Cheryl Kleinman Cakes, Shakoor's Sweet Tooth, Cousin John's and Viola Bakery.

The Ethical Culture Society is located at 53 Prospect Park West, between 1st and 2nd Streets in Park Slope. Admission will be on a sliding scale: $5-$10-$20.
