Top touring artist to "wow" a family crowd

Rick Recht, the most celebrated Jewish artist of our time and PJ Library National Celebrity Spokesperson, will perform a children’s concert on May 17, 2015 in New City, New York. This fun, interactive concert featuring on-stage participation by local children will be held at New City Jewish Center, 47 Old Schoolhouse Road in New City. Recht will perform songs from his hit children’s albums Look at Me! and Free to Be the Jew in Me. The event has been made possible by the Jewish Federation of Rockland County and tickets can be purchased online at www.jewishrockland.org/events.

“One of the things absolutely I love about these children’s concerts is bringing together little kids, their parents and their grandparents in the same setting and creating a type of musical magic that excites everyone all at once,” said Rick Recht.

Recht is the top-touring Jewish artist today, performing more than 125 concerts each year across the country. Recht’s powerful performances have earned him a strong, loyal national fan base. Recht has become an icon for Jewish youth, elevating the medium of Jewish music as a powerful and effective tool for developing Jewish pride and identity.

PJ Library is a Jewish family engagement program for young children that distributes free Jewish children’s literature and music to families in hundreds of communities across the U.S. and Canada.
