Tales from Yiddish Wisconsin," a new project on Yiddish culture in the upper Midwest.

Book of J, San Francisco, CA, 17 Dec 2014

Book of J Wednesday, December 17, 7:30pm Canessa Gallery 708 Montgomery Street San Francisco, CA $10-$15 sliding scale, buy here If you are interested in where old-time religion meets radical politics, Book of J is for you. We do songs that started life in Black and White religious communities and were later adopted by organizers for racial, economic and social justice. In the tradition of the Hebrew prophets, the songs ask for devotion and righteousness and offer power beyond what one still small voice can effect. Expect angels and demons, workers and bosses, hard times resolved and destiny fulfilled. Also singing along is good. Book of J is Jewlia and Jeremiah Lockwood (Sway Machinery).
