Jewish Artists Gathering was founded to celebrate the intersection of the theatre and Jewish communities by connecting and uplifting Jewish professionals of all backgrounds in the entertainment industry. We are committed to fostering meaningful community, amplifying shared heritage, and honoring the profound contributions that Jewish artists and professionals make to the performing arts. Jewish Artists Gathering has previously hosted the Broadway Community Seder, an annual gathering for members of the theatre community to gather for the Passover holiday. The September 14 concert will serve as a fundraiser to further these community and heritage celebrations.
"The purpose of our 'Shana Tova' concert is to not only mark the High Holidays in a unique way, but also to celebrate the performers who make up our community," producer Howard Tilkin said. "Regardless of your background or connection to Judaism, we want this to be a celebration for everyone."
