What People Say About Josh:
"Josh Warshawsky is a breakthrough young talent in the world of Jewish music whose soulful singing and davening is inspiring people - from synagogues to summer camps - across the country."
-Temple Beth Am, Los Angeles, CA
"Josh Warshawsky is the real deal when it comes to Jewish Music Educators. He willingly shared his love of and connection with Judaism through his music. The children, teachers & parents were equally captivated by his presence. More importantly, they forge their own connections to their Jewish heritage through the songs that Josh taught to them. The feeling of joy & ruach (spirit) was always palpable during any zimriyah or holiday concert that Josh led. The Jewish Learning Center is only 6 years old and Josh has led the music education for the last 3 years. As an addition to our staff, Josh enabled the JLC to shoot from a wonderful school to a fantastic one- he was the icing on the cake!"
-Sherri Morris, Diretor, Kehillah Synagogue in Chapel Hill, NC
"Josh is an extraordinarily talented Jewish educator, musician and songleader! His enthusiasm and passion are contagious -- our community couldn't help but feel inspired by him. Josh elevates the ruach and kavanah of Jewish learning through his music, which is simultaneously fun, sincere and engaging. His cheerful and energized attitude lifted the spirits of families in our community, who experienced Josh's creativity firsthand through new liturgical music that he wrote. We were so fortunate to have him as a Music Educator at the B'nai Jeshurun Hebrew School!"
- Ivy Schreiber, Director of Youth and Family Education at B'nai Jeshurun (BJ) in Manhattan, NY
"No one who was there will forget the niggun in which you led four parts of the assembled congregation, and the addition of the meshorerim was a beautiful and inclusive element of the service. One congregant noted, 'He loved davening, he clearly loved singing, and he loved being with people.' As Shabbat continued, it was obvious that you had raised the level of kavannah through prayer and song...
You captivated our teens with meaningful text study, fun conversation, and, of course, music. And at our Melaveh Malkah on Saturday night, your encyclopedic musical knowledge balanced old Jewish standards, modern favorites, and your original compositions to make the evening fun and enjoyable for all...
In our Hebrew school, the staff were delighted by your program, and several took the time to let us know that they had enjoyed it as much as the children. One veteran teacher told us, 'in fifteen years I have never seen the children respond in this way.'
Our Artist-in-Residence weekend with you was a reminder of the power of music to strengthen us as a community. Thank you for bringing our congregation together in music and prayer in a most memorable and meaningful experience. We are inspired by your example and plan to build on what you have taught us."
-Andrea Hirscheld, President of Congregation B'nai Israel in Millburn, NJ
