Jewish Insights Introduces JEWISH HINDSIGHTS #1: A Celebration of Classic Jewish Music, Its Most Defining Moments And The People Who “Wrote” Those Definitions

A Blast From The Past
From A Time That
Went By Way Too Fast

The Year, 1972(ish)
.The Location? Backstage at Madison Square Garden.
The Crew; (back left to right) Stan Mermelstein(trumpet), Josh Goldberg(clarinet), Cantor Sherwood Goffin (a’h), “Captain” Dovid Nulman (accordion & homburg as it was during his “HelloGoodBye 14th Avenue’ period–see insert images) Saul Glick (a’h)drum sticks/attache case, Mickey Lane(a’h)bass…tambourine Zal Schreiber (guitar)

The Event? “You Are A Jew”. While Jewish music promoters were discovering the right acts could sell out 2000 seat college auditoriums in Brooklyn & Queens Rebbetzin Esther Jungreis’s authenticity and passion proved that the right message could do the same…on a much larger scale–as in NewYork’s Madison Square Garden— the location of Hineini’s groundbreaking YouAreAJew event (still available on LP, Cassette & 8 track).

Ready To Add Some Hindsights of your own?
If you have any images/clips/artists renderings/recordings that you feel help define the “second golden age” of classic/authentic Jewish music (1960’s through early 80’s) and would like to share them with likeminded fans please email them to [email protected]. Aside from the content. please also include a brief description/backstory and who(or is it whom?) to credit for the submission.

JewishInsights reserves the right to post submissions without further follow up—though we DO plan on letting you know if your submission is “post worthy”. JewishInsights will not ascertain the provenance of submissions which is just a fancy way of saying anything relating to accuracy and rights/permissions should be confirmed by sender before sending. All submissions become the property of Jewish Insights–which is silly to say as the sender still has them and besides once we post ‘em, odds are everyone will see them. But hey, isn’t that why you were sending them in the first place?

Thanks To Zal Schreiber for sharing his files–and awesome memories–with us
