Special To The Jewish Week
Wailing Wall’s Jesse Rifkin reimagines, and personalizes, the biblical story.
Jesse Rifkin is remembering his childhood in Annapolis, Md. He began writing songs when he was 4. At that age, he loved the Beatles. He was already thinking of himself as a career musician.
“Sometimes you just know,” he says firmly.
It all came true; he has recorded an EP and two CDs with his Wailing Wall band, with the latter recordings being released through JDub Records. He will be launching his new album, “The Low Hanging Fruit,” with a gig in New York on June 4.
