Havdalah and musical program. Doors open at 6:30 for Havdalah and light Mediterranean fare; Rabbi Zecher performs 'Jewish Caroling' cabaret program: Carole King, Carolyn Leigh and Carole Bayer Sager share more than a similar first name. Each of these talented Jewish songwriters helped to create a soundtrack for a generation. You know their songs even if you don’t realize they’re the ones who wrote them. “You’ve Got a Friend” by Carole King, “Best that You Can Do (Arthur’s Theme)” by Carole Bayer Sager and “Hey Look Me Over” by Carolyn Leigh offer just one example of the popular songs written by these songwriters. Each one not only dealt with issues of being women in a field predominated by men but also faced the challenge of finding the balance between their Jewish identity and American popular culture. Did their Jewish identities inform their work? Join us for an evening that celebrates the great contributions of these women to the Great American Songbook.
