MISSION

Neranenah, formerly the Atlanta Jewish Music Festival, is a non-profit cultural event series with roots in Jewish culture and musical traditions.

Neranenah entertains and connects diverse audiences through the exploration of Jewish contributions to music and the performing arts, celebrating its intersections with other cultures and communities.

NERANENAH (HEBREW:ְנַרְנ ָנה) MEANS “TO COME TOGETHER AND SING.”)

We honor tradition but are far from traditional. Our minds and ears are open; the fingerprints of Jewish culture can be found all around us. We seek not to define Jewish arts and culture, but to embrace its diversity, subjectiveness, and personal nature to create a space open and inviting to all.

TRAILER

“My painting titled Miriam was done as a mural proposal for The Temple. It depicts Miriam, the sister of Moses, dancing in celebration of the parting of the Red Sea and the exodus of the Jews from Egypt, surrounded by musician figures that represent various periods of Jewish music. This painting is meant to be evocative and to capture the feeling of Jewish music and celebration.”
