I hope you’re all alive after an abbreviated week b’zman simchateinu, the time of our joy, Shavuoth. I stayed up all night and was zonked all week, but interestingly, some of the things we studied in Pirkey Avot applied to some threads, which I’m linking to here.
I’m finding a lot of great […]
Velvel has an interesting post with two essays on Jewish Music. Also, thanks to our friend the Hasidic Musician for the love on his great site, BlogInDm.
I’m still recovering from the Cleveland simcha and preparing for the UJC Hadesh West conference next week (for a peek at the lineup, click here). I’ll post more about the simcha and associated activities on my personal blog, adamrdavis, for all those who care about my personal life.
ZMAN SIMCHASENU! In other news, its Shavuous […]
Every year some of the best things klezmer happen at a remote camp up in Montreal. It’s KlezKanada, a sort of Canadin counterpart to the annual KlezKamp on the east coast. If you’re interested in Klez, this is a great event. Check it out here.
Everyone in the j-blogosphere is getting on the Jewish music topic lately. Jewsweek’s feature story last week was a virtual love letter to the Hayyim Danziger of the John Mayer-esque Blue Fringe Band, and not undeservedly so. Jewschool got into the act taking a swipe at Jewish music as whole with some intersting […]
The great folks at the UJC’s Rennaissance and Renewal Pillar have asked me to help with their Hadesh West Conference, which will gather Federation and JCC executive types to discuss using Arts and Cultural programming to broaden the definition of Jewish identity and reach young and npresently unaffiliated but culturally attuned audiences. I’m flattered […]
Last night Yosi Piamenta and I headed out to a small blues club on the West side called Rosa’s. I’d never been there, and wasn’t sure what to expect. about 30 people were there to see open mic, and of course Yosi sat in, kicking off with a blistering Hendrix cover, then Moni […]
Sunday morning while my friends were enjoying their 3rd hour of blue-shirted volunteerism, I woke to a clear, sunny blue. I walked outside and though it was cool, I thought, “The Walk With Israel will be mobbed today.” Unlike past years where I’ve dragged groups or volunteered for the event, I just wanted […]
Today I helped a Rabbi fix a closet door. Its nothing to sing about, but its something I’ve never done. While it didn’t bring me closer to Hashem, it did make the office look much nicer.
Allahu Akbar! In other news, the Merciful, Almighty and Hilarious Allah Pundit has remodeled his Moqsue. The […]
Friday I learned that the Moshav Band, of whom I am a fan and proponent, will not likely be coming to Chicago this summer. I’m publicly stating my dissappointment, but hopefully we’ll see them in Chicago under the KFAR banner sometime next year. Since we’re on the Carlebach topic, I’ve noticed I’m less […]
