Song Writing Workshop

UF Hillel’s JAMnetwork is giving “soul” music a new definition. Tonight (Nov. 18), JAMnetwork’s Song Writing Workshop will be exploring the depths of a person’s spirituality through music. The event will be held from 5:45 to 7pm at UF Hillel’s Living Room Gallery.

The free event is open to the community and welcomes anyone who has a passion to explore the idea of writing with a spiritual twist. Whether you write or simply love music, the program anticipates connecting creative minds alike through one commonality. Musicians of all styles are welcome to play along with the song lyrics that will be created during this interactive activity. Although all faiths are welcome to the workshop, participants will brainstorm ideas as a group to find out what truly makes a person “Jewish.” 

“The idea behind the workshop is for people to leave this event with something meaningful and lasting,” says Mallory Zuckerman, the director of JAMnetwork, which was recently launched as a project headed by UF Hillel’s Manoah Art Committee to create a strong community of creative Jewish minds from Gainesville.
