about

This album bends all genres- prepare yourself for an immersive and eclectic listening experience across choral and cantorial traditions finding their way into communal prayer and American folk song. Beit El is sourced from the original encounter and location between Jacob and the Divine Presence. This is an immensely powerful and meaningful experience, one that has permeated Jewish thought for millennia. The core of Jewish spirituality, belonging, connection and its needed place in our world today sets the tone for this record. Jacob's Ladder paves the way for a familiar yet distinctly original take on Jewish music, one embedded in American musical soundscapes with the spirit and soul of Jewish modes, cantillation and prayer.
