L’dor Vador Presents
Soulfarm
Sunday May 22 at 4PM
Please let me explain, I think lectures about Israel are critical, I am thankful that extraordinary advocacy for Israel has found a home a B’nai Tikvah. I also believe that Judaism is exciting and that we MUST celebrate our culture. Concerts, dances, Passover Poker and Comedy Night, they give us the strength we need to engage.
The programs that we present at B’nai Tikvah are extraordinary. Over the past few years our focus on Israel has taken center stage. Politics is an area that we can all agree to disagree about. Regardless of our bond with Israel and our commitment to the future of our Jewish homeland, the issues that we are confronted with can make us uneasy. We are all intelligent, committed to Judaism and Israel, yet, at times; we are stricken with anxiety and fear about our future. There are answers to these issues and many of the realities conflict with our understanding of “Give Peace a Chance” or “Make Love not War”. We must bolster, enrich our spiritual lives. Prayer is one answer, living a charitable life is another approach that may enhance your life. Living a life guided by the principles of Torah is our most dependable approach.
In my opinion, the best way to get motivated to tackle a difficult task is to take a shot of Jewish adrenaline. If you’re sick that may be chicken soup, if you are sad, Jewish music works, actually Jewish music enhances every aspect of our lives. That is why we need L’dor Vador and or other “spirited events”.
I couldn’t be more certain that we have a great, great band this year. Soulfarm represents our Jewish journey, meaning, they are singer songwriters, they play the music of Bob Dylan and Shlomo Carlebach, they are “Deadheads” and a great wedding band. For the past 18 years, I have turned to C Lanzbom’s acoustic guitar albums for relaxation and contemplation and his electric guitar solos motivate me on the treadmill (remember to sign up for the Rutgers Hillel Fit Walk and Run). Lead singer, Noah Solomon, has a beautiful voice and an eclectic variety of styles.
“Soulfarm was founded in Israel by Grammy Award winner lead guitarist C Lanzbom and guitarist and lead singer Noah Solomon Chase. Their sound has been dubbed as New American music, full melodic song writing and progressive modern arrangements. Their live shows are full of Mediterranean flavor with captivating guitar leads, dance rhythms and strong percussion breaks. The 2012 New York Post quotes Soulfarm as “versatile, utilizing improvisation and world music.”
Soulfarm has recorded with many well-known musicians such as Perry Farrel and Dispatch; and has opened for Bruce Hornsby, Shawn Colvin, The Wailers, George Clinton, to name a few. They have been featured on Fox 5 Good Day New York as well as the main band for “MY9 Celebrates Israel Day Parade.” Through extensive touring they have performed throughout the US, Europe, Australia and Israel.”
The Support of Cindy and David Teicher along with your ticket purchases has assured us of the best musical concerts in our area. There have been times that the same artists have performed at other synagogues, ours performances are always superior. Your support allows us to present the artists with their full bands under maximal conditions with professional sound engineers.
The prices of the tickets vary; choose your most comfortable level of support by purchasing them at www.bnaitivah.org/soulfarm. Once again, L’dor Vador, from generation to generation, will make you happy!
With Joy and a song in my heart,
Cantor Bruce Rockman
