Reb Brenner
Since 2018, Reb Brenner has been the spiritual leader for Because Jewish, leading a series of holiday events with musicians in New York City including Jeremiah Lockwood, Yula Be’eri and Jordan McLean and hosting guest artists from Antibalas, Balkan Beat Box, Patti Smith Group, Wilco, Guster, Real Estate, Disco Biscuits, and other bands.
His essays and his commentaries have appeared in the New York Times, Jerusalem Post, KtB, Huffington Post, Iconia and NPR’s Infinite Mind. His band Midnight Nosh has been featured in The Yiddish Daily Forward, and his touring cultural performance Klezmer Aerobics was a select pick of the cultural arts section of the New York Times. Brenner and his beloved, Lisa Silberman Brenner, are parents of three young adults – Noam, Jonah, and Adira.
Jeremiah Lockwood
Jeremiah Lockwood is a scholar and a storyteller; a singer, guitarist and composer with an expansive knowledge of musical traditions and techniques that range from cantorial sacred music to Piedmont blues. His career as musician and academic engages with issues arising from peering into the archive and imagining the power of “lost” forms of expression to articulate keenly felt needs in the present.
Yula Be’eri
Yuli (Yula) Be’eri – Singer, Bass –Tel Aviv-born musical composer and multi-instrumentalist, Yula started as a young actor and model in Tel Aviv, and quickly realized her true calling was music. She moved to NYC and has been a driving force in the Brooklyn art scene ever since. Her past and current projects include: World Inferno Friendship Society, NaNuchKA, and The Hive NYC, just to name a few, and she is currently consumed with her work with Y&I, a duo with her husband Isaac Gardner, who will also be joining us for the High Holidays.
