Rabbi Joe Black has performed for congregations and communities around the world. His recordings and books have received accolades from sources as diverse as American Songwriter Magazine, The New York Times, Parent’s Choice, The American Library Journal and KidsFirst: The Coalition for Quality Children’s Video.

Joe is a two-time winner of American Songwriter Magazine’s Lyric Contest. He has also published two children’s book for the PJ Library, a songbook and recorded five critically acclaimed albums of Jewish music. His compositions have been recorded by numerous artists and he and his music are featured in a variety of Contemporary Jewish Music compilation CD’s. His poetry and prose have been published widely.

As a musician, Joe is known for his guitar virtuosity, soaring voice and lyrics that are at the same time, funny, inspirational and thought provoking. His music is an extension of his rabbinate. After an 18-year hiatus from recording, Joe went back into the studio this past December and recorded two new albums of original music: Praying With Our Feet — a collection of Jewish music, and Wire and Wood — new secular songs.

Rabbi Black serves as Senior Rabbi at Temple Emanuel in Denver, CO – a position he has held since 2011.

Seating is limited and registration is required. The concert will be followed by a dessert reception. This concert is free of charge and co-sponsored by Congregation Beth Am and Kehillah Jewish High School.
