I’m not going to publicly discuss the details of this story, but I did feel the need to express myself somehow. I have been repeatedly surprised by the reach of this story. I’m so exhausted from explaining this story to friends and family members who usually don’t listen to or follow Jewish music. Everyone wants to know “what’s with this concert ban?”, and everyone is just shocked.
I really wish it would just go away, it’s just so upsetting. My heart goes out to all of the music professionals that were involved in this story. Music is truly the pen of the soul, what we choose to do with that pen, what story we attempt to compose is up to us. Don’t forget to support Jewish music and keep your spirits high, Purim is just around the corner!
