“Matt is a rock star pioneering new ways to educate our children.
He has mastered the difficult art of making text study relevant,
creative and fun for Jewish youth.”
- Jerry Silverman, Chief Executive Officer, Foundation for Jewish Camp.
The Bible Raps Project is a new initiative aimed at exciting young Jewish students about Judaism, Jewish Heritage, and Jewish texts. Built around a series of raps that draw on texts from the Bible and Midrash, The Bible Raps Project will resonate with Jewish youth in a way that traditional media cannot by fusing rap music, this generation's most powerful mode of cultural communication, with Jewish discourse. It is an innovative strategy, consisting of professional grade music and an accompanying curriculum, to express the value of Jewish Peoplehood and cultural relevancy among young Jews while injecting needed excitement into the Jewish educational experience.
"Matt is continuing the classic midrashic tradition of giving the Torah expression in contemporary language. Through the artful mixture of lines from the Tanach and his own ideas he is making our tradition relevant to many."
- Rabbi David Levin Kruss, Pardes faculty. Advisor to the project.
