Joey Weisenberg

Joey Weisenberg is a vibrant force in contemporary Jewish music, blending soulful tradition with communal energy to create spaces where everyone’s voice belongs. As the director of the Rising Song Institute and a faculty member at the Hadar Institute, he’s become a leading voice in revitalizing participatory Jewish musical traditions. Known for his magnetic live gatherings, Joey crafts nigunim (wordless spiritual melodies) that feel both ancient and fresh, inviting spontaneous choirs to erupt whether in synagogues, living rooms, or on albums like *Nigunim, Vol. VII: Songs of Ascent* and *Live in the Choir Loft*. A multi-instrumentalist who grooves on guitar, mandolin, and more, his recordings—from the raw intimacy of *Meditation One* to the geographically inspired *Songs from the City of Brotherly Love*—bridge prayer, protest, and collective joy. Joey’s work isn’t just about music; it’s about building connections, teaching workshops worldwide, and reminding us that singing together can be a radical act of belonging.
