Brooklyn Bowl to Host Musical Rosh Hashanah Services and Events in September

New York’s Brooklyn Bowl has announced the details for its annual Rosh Hashanah celebrations, which will take place next month. The musically driven High Holiday services, a 14-year tradition for the venue’s community, are slated to take place Monday, September 22 at 7:30pm and Tuesday, September 23 at 10am. Both events will feature full traditionally rooted Rosh Hashanah services, plain-sense explanations of the religious aspects of the holiday, prayer, shofar blowing, meditation and live music drawn from throughout the Jewish diaspora.

Rabbi Daniel Brenner will once again led the service, adding a deep authenticity and solemnity to the proceedings. The musical direction will be helmed by Jeremiah Lockwood, who will lead the core Bowl Hashanah band. The band’s lineup will bring together vocalist/bassist Yula Beeri, drummer John Bollinger, saxophonist and clarinet player Stuart Bogie (Joe Russo’s Almost Dead, Arcade Fire, and Antibalas), trumpeter Jordan McLean (Antibalas) and organist Yusuke Yamamoto. Additional members of the band, as well as a mix of special guests from both the local musical community and the Jewish music scene, will be announced in the coming weeks. Kol Nidre and Yom Kippur details will also be announced in the coming weeks.

A limited number of Early Bird tickets are currently available for both the September 22 service and the September 23 service. A festive lunch option from Blue Ribbon is also available for the September 23 service. Children’s tickets are also available.
