The Jewish Songwriters of the Great American Songbook
In the words of Irving Berlin, “Songs make history and history makes songs." Why were there so many Jewish songwriters? Did their Jewish backgrounds influence their writing? Is there a discernible “Jewish” flavor in songs composed by Jews? How did the alliance between Blacks and Jews influence popular song? Why are so many Christmas songs composed by Jews? What are the difficult topics that Jewish songwriters tackled?

Join Cantors Jodi Sufrin and Roy Einhorn for a singalong evening of story and song honoring the contribution of Jewish songwriters to the Great American Songbook.
