UNITE COMMUNITY. BUILD INTERFAITH PARTNERSHIP. CREATE DIVERSITY AWARENESS.
Rick Recht, the top-touring musician in Jewish music, has taken social justice and interfaith community events to an entirely new level with his Tear Down the Walls community family concerts and worship services. Tear Down the Walls creates a powerful opportunity for Rabbis, Cantors and clergy of a variety of faiths to unite their communities in celebration, learning, interaction, and meaningful relationship building. Rather than simply 'showcasing' the talent of participating communities, Tear Down the Walls also creates opportunities for communities to actively participate together, side by side, at the same time, developing the foundation for on-going relationships.
Tear Down the Walls Community CONCERT
The concert production is an interactive, musical experience, featuring multiple synagogue and church choirs, soloists, guest speakers and spoken word, weaving the words of great leaders throughout history such as Dr. King, Nelson Mandela, Elie Weisel, and many others who have torn down the walls of injustice. Recht masterfully infuses the Tear Down the Walls experience with his trademark, highly-charged, multigenerational appeal. Guest speakers have included clergy of a wide diversity of faiths, state representatives, city mayors, civil rights pioneers, and social justice leaders of organizations such as the ADL, NAACP, and Urban League. The Tear Down the Walls concert production is intended to unite a broad community of religious and social justice organizations all at once.
Tear Down the Walls WORSHIP SERVICES
Tear Down the Walls can also be utilized in a worship setting to create a beautiful common ground for Jewish and other faith groups to worship, learn and celebrate together. Tear Down the Walls worship services can be based in a synagogue, church, or non-religious venue.
