Recht performed with other Jewish musicians on ''Oy Baby 2'', the sequel to the bestselling compilation of modernized traditional Jewish songs geared toward Jewish infants and children.1 In 2006, Recht released ''Tear Down the Walls''. As part of the recording process, Recht gathered a group of Jewish teens, took them to Memphis to Stax Academy, a charter school operated by Soulsville, a non-profit organization that also operates the Stax Museum of American Soul Music. The students, along with African American students, recorded "Avadim Hayinu," which blends Hebrew lyrics describing the Israelites' journey from slavery to freedom with the lyrics to " We Shall Overcome ." The song featured one-time '' American Idol '' contestant Phillipe Crymes. The group later performed the song at the National Civil Rights Museum on Martin Luther King Day .2 REFERENCES EXTERNAL LINKS |
