Help bring my
Jewish music to life
Music has a way of reaching people where words alone cannot. I am passionate about creating Jewish music that is accessible, relatable, and emotionally resonant for everyone.
Making this music well is costly: recording, production, transcription, and getting it into the hands of communities who need it. If this work resonates with you, your support means everything and helps this music reach further.
Just Love (V’ahavta)
I wrote this English interpretation of the V'ahavta by writing and rewriting the translation in my own words until it felt personally meaningful. What I kept coming back to was one word: love. V'ahavta literally means "and you shall love."
The V'ahavta is known as the guidelines to living a good Jewish life — hanging a mezuzah, wearing tefillin, teaching your children. I wanted to simplify it down to what I believe is the heart of it: these are just ways of expressing love: for yourself, for others, for the Jewish tradition, and for everything beyond.
The melody is inspired by the traditional trope used when chanting the prayer.
Right now, this song exists as a self-transcribed lead sheet. I'm hoping to raise funds to:
Hire someone to transcribe and compose a piano arrangement
Have the song professionally recorded, produced, mixed, and mastered
Share it with audiences who will connect with it
As a thank you for your support, I’d love to provide you with a shoutout and a copy of the music once I have it:
Thank you for your support
Thank you for being part of this.
This work is truly a labor of love and it doesn't happen without people who believe in it. Every contribution, whether large or small, helps me dedicate more time to creating music and resources that bring people closer to Jewish tradition, to each other, and to themselves.
I'd love to hear from you: your ideas, your feedback, and your words of encouragement mean a lot.
