Brews and Schmooze: Jews Rock!

On July 28 the JMM held an interactive program about the history of Jews and rock n' roll. Jews Rock! From Tin Pan Alley to Woodstock, presented by Rabbi Brian Leiken, was an interesting, engaging, entertaining, and (at times) hilarious program. From insight on the Jewish role in the music industry to his on Bar Mitzvah video, Rabbi Lei

ken had a rapt crowd of 70 people.

Below are a collection of photos and videos from his presentation. Nothing confirms that we're on the right track quite like 70 people eating, drinking, laughing, and singing together.

Inspired by the subject, we had a lot of fun decorating!

A delicious falafel, on rock n' roll table cloths, naturally.

As a finale to our program Jews Rock! Rabbi Brian Leiken sang "Flowers are Red," a Harry Chapin song.

Back inside, visitors received a tour from artist JT Waldman of his work in the exhibition, Drawing on Tradition: The Book of Esther.


Or they could just enjoy it on their own.
