With 20 Broadway shows and 15 films to his name, it’s hard to overstate the omnipresence of songwriter Irving Berlin. Born the son of a cantor in Tsarist Russia and raised in the Lower East Side having fled the pogroms, Berlin wrote over 1,500 songs, shaping American music for decades. This song was recorded live at our June 2025 concert, and features on our upcoming album, Broadway: A Jewish Journey, which we can’t wait to share with you in September. Wishing you a Shabbat Shalom.

Cantors Azi Schwartz, Arielle Reisner, and Mira Davis; Arielle Jacobs, Jenny Baker, Bob McDonald, Joanie Leeds, Lindsay Lavin, Rebecca Kasper, Seth Rudetzky, Zachary Piser.
