A Taste of Israel – Reform Style
Born in South Korea (yes really!), raised in Hoboken until the age of 5 and then in Israel, Shimon is excited to be back in his home state. Shimon is now the Cantorial Soloist and Artist in Residence at Temple Emanuel in Westfield, NJ.
He was the co-music director of IMPJ (Israel Movement for Progressive Judaism) biennial. He writes original Jewish music (look for him on Spotify), and was featured in Transcontinental music publications and PJ Library. He is also the host of “Best in Israeli Rock” on Jewish Rock Radio. Shimon voice dubs characters in the Israeli versions of cartoon movies and tv shows. Some notable ones are “Scar” from The Lion King and Pappa Pig from Peppa Pig.
