Get ready for a night of fabulous music. The evening is capped off with a concert by Joe Black, Beth Schafer, and Peri Smilow.

Rabbi Joe Black has produced several critically acclaimed albums of Jewish music, a songbook and two videos. His music is widely sung by youth throughout the Movement. Rabbi Black serves as senior rabbi of Congregation Albert in Albuquerque, NM. Listen to his song Eight Nights of Joy.

Beth Schafer has been blazing a trail in contemporary Jewish music for more than a decade.
