In the bustling, ever-growing Jewish music/ simcha entertainment industry, there's a wide array of singers, composers, arrangers, producers, and musicians who are either brimming with potential, at the cusp of arrival, or perhaps have already begun their journey and are relishing the opportunity to express themselves through music while inspiring and elevating countless listeners. In this podcast, Simcha Kranczer (host), as well as the listeners, get to familiarize themselves with certain JM personalities on the rise and to appreciate them both as a person and as an artist. #jewishmusic #JM

Episode 3! Simcha is joined by a longtime friend, Eli Daitchman, for the entirety of this episode.

Jewish Music seems to have two simple criteria- it should be Jewish and it should be music, right? But can these two terms actually be defined adequately? What are the qualifications? What is the standard? Who decides what the threshold is and/or when someone has breached that boundary? Who dictates the direction of JM and its pace of evolution?

Simcha & Eli have a very lively and entertaining conversation as they discuss golf (there’s a valid reason; please believe me!), as well as non-Jewish trends, sounds, and flat-out unabashed copying that trickles into JM. They discuss song lyrics, authenticity, and they hopelessly contemplate how/if there can be a common ground in JM where the artists can be the best [genuine, consistent] versions of themselves while still inspiring their listeners and without losing a segment of their fanbase in the process.

Let’s not forget the impetus of this episode: HOW REALISTIC IS YERAKRAK?! (Hint: Very)
