SUMMARY:Lag BaOmer with Marni Loffman: Final Concert of the BZBI Jewish Music Series
DESCRIPTION:Join the BZBI community as we celebrate the mystical holiday of Lag BaOmer with the final concert of the BZBI Jewish Music Series. Marni Loffman is an up-and-coming musician whose debut album\, the long short path\, combines elements of Ashkenazi nusach with contemporary American genres including folk\, pop\, jazz\, and neo-soul. Marni writes\, “This album is an invitation to connect from wherever you are on your journey: from a place of eternal wandering and continual arrival\, from the paradox of belief\, from desiring ‘traditional’ sounds and also yearning for relevance and meaning\, from not knowing exactly where you belong\, from recognizing a kernel of truth everywhere but also knowing that no place contains the full picture.”  Register for the concert here. \nThe BZBI Jewish Music Series is thanks to the generous support of Laurie Wagman\, along with sponsor Arlene Fickler and supporters Sheldon & Penny Bernick\, Morton & Carmel Levine\, Lawrence Kerson & Toba Schwaber Kerson\, and Judith Shadden Torrance.  \nThursday\, May 15 at 7:00 PM at BZBI
