On Saturday, March 2, join Joey Weisenberg, renowned musician and founder of Hadar’s Rising Song Institute, for a night of soul-igniting melodies and collective harmonies, a communal celebration of music that has been composed at GJC. Since 2017, Philadelphia’s Germantown Jewish Centre has partnered with Joey Weisenberg to host Rising Song rehearsals, composing sessions, and recording sessions for over 120 songs that have gone on to reverberate throughout the wider Jewish world, as well as filming sessions for over 1000 instructional videos that form Joey’s Weisenberg’s Classes in Jewish Song and Prayer, which has taught thousands to lead prayers, play instruments, and sing nigunim. At this concert, we’ll celebrate this partnership by singing songs composed at GJC!

All proceeds from this concert will help grow GJC’s Music Fund. As a thank you to GJC, any member can use the code GJCSONG to join Joey’s Classes in Jewish Song and Prayer for the first two months free!
