Jeff Klepper

Jeff Klepper is a cornerstone of contemporary Jewish music, blending folk-inspired melodies with spiritual themes that resonate across generations. As a guitarist, composer, and liturgist, he’s spent decades shaping modern Jewish worship, most famously co-creating the widely sung "Shalom Rav" melody. His work with Rabbi Dan Freelander in the duo Kol B’Seder helped pioneer the Jewish folk-rock sound of the 1970s and ’80s, earning him a devoted following. Recent releases like *In This Place: Jewish Songs Of Time And Space* and *Yom Chadash: A New Day* showcase his knack for weaving timeless Jewish texts with accessible, soulful arrangements, while *Jewish Music For The Masses: Live In Concert* captures his warm, engaging stage presence. Klepper’s music remains a bridge between tradition and innovation, making prayerful poetry feel both ancient and freshly alive.
