Singer/Songwriter Rachel Cole has been performing Jewish music since childhood. For the past several years she has been the music teacher and service leader at Temple Isaiah in Lexington, Massachusetts. A joyful and melodious singer, Rachel has performed her original compositions in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Washington, Oregon, and in the Boston area.

Guy Mendilow (2:30 - 3:15 p.m.)
Check out Guy Mendilow's music on his website.  

A citizen of Israel, Great Britain and the United States, Mendilow spent his most formative years playing hopscotch between continents when his musician-turned-professor father was invited to a succession of teaching posts. From early childhood on, most aspects of Mendilow’s life were a cultural, linguistic and musical mix. “Mendilow is no dilettante,” writes the Boston Phoenix. “He learned the music of these countries by living and working there — so when he sings about a massacre by paramilitaries in Chiapas, he knows what he’s talking about.”
