We have liturgical music, Klezmer music, Jewish inspired classical music by Jewish composers and by their non Jewish colleagues. Is there something innately Jewish about Jewish music or is it simply music that Jewish people have adapted to their own needs? We have a rich heritage and I am looking forward to presenting it to my fabulous students. I think you can count on a discussion of Sephardic music, a good dose of Klezmer and some of my favorite classical selections and performances. Included with GOLD subscriptions.

Your copy should address 3 key questions: Who am I writing for? (Audience) Why should they care? (Benefit) What do I want them to do here? (Call-to-Action)
Create a great offer by adding words like "free" "personalized" "complimentary" or "customized." A sense of urgency often helps readers take an action, so think about inserting phrases like "for a limited time only" or "only 7 remaining"!
