JLive is our series of virtual cultural experiences. Meet some of the best Boston area talent, telling their Jewish story through art.

“Yiddish was my first language. I’ve written poems about my Jewish family. My interest in listening to and writing about music stems from my mother and her encouragement. My sense of humor could be described as Jewish. I think even my own conflicted attitudes about religion strike me as very Jewish”

– LLoyd Schwartz
