Prince of Kosher Gospel Music Monday, August 4 - 7:30 P.M. Lawrence Family JCC, Jacobs Family Campus A Jewish African-American, Joshua Nelson has sung for presidents and prime ministers, in synagogues and churches, with Wynton Marsalis, Aretha Franklin, and on Oprah. He sounds like the legendary Mahalia Jackson whom he heard as an 8-year-old growing up in Newark. At the heart of every song Joshua Nelson performs is his desire to bring people closer to G-d. The Grammynominated gospel singer combines African- American spiritual styles with Jewish liturgical music.
