MARLBORO – Nefesh Mountain is the place where American bluegrass and old-time music meet with Jewish heritage and tradition. Temple Rodeph Torah, Marlboro, will host a Rock Shabbat concert featuring Nefesh Mountain at 5 p.m. March 29.
Band leaders, genre pioneers, and husband and wife Doni Zasloff and Eric Lindberg are the heart of this eclectic offering and share their love for American music, their own cultural heritage and each other with audiences throughout the world, according to a press release.
The result of this unexpected and beautiful mix is staggering; and while complete with the kind of adept string virtuosity and through composed arrangements one would hope for from a newgrass band with influences from bluegrass, old-time, Celtic and jazz, they also play and sing songs of the heart, creating music with a sense of diversity, oneness and purpose for the world today, according to the press release.
Nefesh Mountain’s mission is to spread the joy and magic of American roots music and help to champion and reinforce the powerful messages of diversity, wholeness and harmony for today’s ever-changing times, according to the press release.
Concert-goers should come ready to sing, hum and clap their hands, according to the press release.
This fundraising event will spotlight Temple Rodeph Torah and its efforts to bring music to its congregation and community in a meaningful way. Concert-goers will have an opportunity to meet the members of Nefesh Mountain. All community members, regardless of religion or affiliation, are welcome to attend, according to the press release.
Tickets are $18 for adults and $5 for children under 18. Children 5 and under are free. Concert packages, including CDs, are available. For ticket information, visit
