Quite a few non-Jews in our various orbits also feel attached to the sounds that pump from our shops, yeshivos and simchah halls
JIM: I moved to New York City in 1986, and started working in Jewish music in 1988. I’d get hired by Ding, or Sheya Mendlowitz, and I’d spend my days in recording studios in Brooklyn. I kept a foot in both worlds because I spent my nights playing Broadway shows. I think I have done over 300 Jewish albums over my career and concerts including HASC.
GEORGE: Since I’ve been working in the community, which is 47 years. I started out as a waiter and slowly built up a clientele and began to arrange private events, weddings, and Shabbos weekend events in hotels. Although I’m very discreet, I’m well known in the community and have done many events, including for Israeli political delegations, and I was involved with the first Canadian Pesach program in Niagara Falls. I work predominantly in the Jewish community because they keep me busy, but not exclusively.
PABLO: Since I started working here, six years ago.
DAVID: Chameish years. It’s always playing here in the background of the kosher butcher store in Gateshead.
