Noam Katz

about

Noam Katz is one of the newest and most exciting voices in Jewish music today. His soulful melodies, high-flying energy, and sense of humor have delighted audiences throughout North America, Israel and Uganda. A native of Rochester, NY, Noam spent most of his childhood summers at URJ Eisner Camp in Great Barrington, MA. There he immersed himself in a world of Jewish music, learning, and social activism. After spending years as a head songleader at the URJ Kutz and Eisner Camps, Noam was inspired to go on the road during the summer of 2003, bringing his enthusiasm, humor and innovative programs to hundreds of campers and staff at Union for Reform Judaism summer camps. He performed at the 2003 NFTY Convention in Washington, D.C., as well as for over 5000 Reform Jewish leaders at their 2004 Biennial Convention in Minneapolis, MN. Today, Noam continues to share his music and love for Jewish learning with teens, adults and children, touring at camps and congregations of every denomination. In 2001, Noam released his debut album, RAKIA, a collection of 12 original songs in Hebrew and English. It includes Noam's new melodies for "Modim", "Layehudim" and "Nachshon", ideal for Shabbat, Havdalah and spirited song sessions. One of the songs, "Halleli", was selected to be on the 2003 "Ruach 5763" album, a compilation of new Jewish tunes put out by the URJ Press/Transcontinental Music.
