Beth Schafer has been a defining voice of contemporary Jewish music in America for the last 10 years. Beth's primary objective is to make peace through her music. Attracting fans of all faiths because of her infectious spirit and attention to universal themes in her writing, Beth won the AMERICAN IDOL UNDERGROUND FAITH BASED COMPETITION in 2006. Beth has just released a CD for fans of any faith called "Build That Bridge." The title track, co-written with Larry Hoppen from the band ORLEANS, speaks to our need to reach out to neighbors of other faiths and celebrate what we have in common. Chock full of upbeat, well-crafted songs, "Build That Bridge" is for the faithful, the hopeful and the wonderful!
Isa 44:6 “Thus said יהוה, Sovereign of Yisraʼĕl, and his Redeemer, יהוה of hosts, ‘I am the First and I am the Last, besides Me there is no Elohim. Isa 44:7 ‘And who is like Me? Let him call and declare it, and lay it before Me, since I appointed the everlasting people. And the events that are coming and those that do come, let them declare these to them. Isa 44:8 ‘Do not fear, nor be afraid. Have I not since made you hear, and declared it? You are My witnesses. Is there an Eloah besides Me? There is no other Rock, I know not one.ʼ ”
