Description

Rena Branson (she/they) is a Jewish musician and ritual leader who uplifts personal and collective healing through song. This summer, Rena is teaming up with Pushcart Judaica to offer a  ✨Music and Makers Tour✨ — a chance to come together in song and craft, celebrate regional Jewish arts and culture, and support artisans creating ritual items across Turtle Island. These popup concerts and markets will be in Durham on 7/13, Asheville on 7/17, Atlanta on 7/20, and Nashville on 7/24.

Concert Details:
Inspired by the words “p’tach libi b’toratecha” (open my heart to Your teaching), Rena’s music asks: what are we being invited to learn, grow, and heal in this moment? In a participatory space, community members are welcome to sing along, to listen more deeply, and to replenish our energy for the vital work of transformation in ourselves and the world. Rena shares original songs that weave together Jewish liturgy with new English poetry and prayers for healing, along with devotional Hasidic melodies from her family’s lineage. All voices are welcome.

Time:
Participatory Concert: 6:30-7:30pm
Market: 7:30-9:30pm

Tickets:
Sliding scale from $18–$54 (all sales final) with limited "pay what you can" tickets. Folks under age 18 can come for free. Thanks for reflecting on a contribution that is both generous & feasible for you! Your support allows Rena to keep bringing healing music into the world. 

Vending & Tabling:
If you're interested in vending or tabling at the market, you can sign up for a table here. Setup is before the concert at 5:30-6:30pm.

Community Care:
The building has an ADA accessible entrance and there is ample parking. The ADA accessible bathroom in this building is under renovation, and there are 2 non-ADA accessible bathrooms.
