As we all know, our 60-year-old building, that we are so blessed to continue to call home, is in need of much refurbishment, so fundraising is a major aspect of this concert as well.

Before becoming a star in the Jewish music world, Elana spent a decade (2006-2016) as a touring artist in the folk/indie scene, opening regularly for Girlyman, David Wilcox, Catie Curtis, and many more. She played some of the most iconic listening rooms in the country, including Club Passim (Boston), Wolftrap (DC), the Living Room (NYC), the World Cafe Live (Philadelphia), and many more. She has appeared on NPR’s Soundcheck, as well as on PBS’ Finding Your Roots.
A sought-after studio musician for nearly two decades, Elana maintains a busy recording schedule, working with such varied artists as Peter Yarrow, the Dirty Projectors, and Catie Curtis. On Broadway, she held the guitar chair on both the smash revival of Sweet Charity starring Tony award-winner, Sutton Foster, and on Kristin Chenoweth’s acclaimed For the Girls, and has worked on multiple instruments in the pit orchestras of Broadway shows. Raised on equal parts Mozart, Mingus, and Mitchell, Elana studied conducting and violin, jazz guitar, and songwriting at Yale.
