Jews for Jesus to Perform

Gloria Dei will host The Liberated Wailing Wall on Friday, May 23 at 7 p.m. in the Family Life Center.

The Liberated Wailing Wall, a mobile evangelistic music team from the Jews for Jesus organization, has been bringing Jewish gospel music, testimony and drama to churches, colege campuses and city streets for more than 30 years. Besides their national and international tours, they have recorded 12 albums, including their latest, "Never Forget." Their unique Jewish gospel music sounds like a blend of Israeli folk and "Fiddler on the Roof." It is joyous, upbeat and lively. When the Liberated Wailing Wall sings, expect to find yourself tapping your toes, clapping your hands and singing along.

History

In the early 1970's, a group of Jews for Jesus began singing on street corners in and around San Francisco. They didn't win world-wide acclaim, but some people did stop and listen, people who were surprised to hear Jewish melodies with lyrics about Jesus. At the same time, the group brought a little bit of Jewishness to the churches as they shared their unique music. This group of singing street missionaries was the original Liberated Wailing Wall. Through the years, some 120 energetic individuals have traveled around the world as part of the various Liberated Wailing Wall teams.
