In gratitude to the musicians and tech artists who brought this music to life, to the entire team at Hadar and the Rising Song Institute for their ongoing support of this project — from workshopping early versions of the songs, to reviewing the intricacies of the texts, to integrating the music into Torah learning, to supporting programs that brought this music into countless communal voices around the country and beyond - the voices that shaped the soundscape of this music from the beginning. Particular thanks to Joey Weisenberg, Josh Fleet, Rabbi Miriam-Simma Walfish, and the Yeshivat Hadar faculty and students for their ongoing presence and investment in this music being part of a Jewish world that is so, so very much alive.
Thank you to B'nai Jeshurun in NYC for hosting us in their sacred space with such care, providing rich layers of visual inspiration for much of this music and its artwork.
Heartfelt thanks to our track sponsors for their generosity in supporting this chapter of the ongoing story of new Jewish music and creative, spiritual expression.
