Hey there, Greenville! Hold onto your hats because something special is coming to town this month! Mark your calendars for December 15th, because that’s when acclaimed Jazz Comedian David Zasloff will grace the stage of the Sigal Music Museum for an unforgettable event known as ShofarPalooza.
So, what exactly is ShofarPalooza? It’s not just your average show—it’s a lively and entertaining celebration of Jewish heritage, sprinkled with Zasloff’s one-of-a-kind comedic flair. According to Courtney Tessler, the CEO of the Greenville Jewish Federation, one of the event’s sponsors, “ShofarPalooza is a celebration of Jewish heritage with some comedic twists that only David can offer.” Sounds like a fabulous mix of learning and laughing to us!
If you haven’t heard of David Zasloff, you’re in for a treat! This guy is a stand-up comedian who dabbles in jazz vocals and is no stranger to performing in all sorts of venues—from prisons to prestigious theaters. His experience includes everything from weddings to funerals, as well as temples and even corporate events! Zasloff’s talents don’t stop there; he famously played the Japanese shakuhachi flute on Linkin Park’s hit album “Meteora.” Talk about a versatile artist!
He’s worked as a musical director for numerous shows on Comedy Channel and even had a special on Showtime. Not to mention, you might just recognize his work from the soap opera, The Young and the Restless. Plus, he is the creative mind behind “If There Weren’t Any Jews,” a short animated film that’s made its way onto several festival circuits. With such an impressive resume, it’s no wonder he’s raising the bar for everyone who attends!
During the event, Zasloff won’t just be making you laugh—he’ll also be sharing his knowledge of the shofar! This is a traditional Jewish horn made from a ram’s horn, often blown during important religious ceremonies. Expect some comedic storytelling about its history, as well as demonstrations showing how to play the shofar. And we can’t forget the various shofar calls that you’ll hear during the high holidays!
For those wondering about the details, ShofarPalooza kicks off at 3 p.m. at the Sigal Music Museum, located at 516 Buncombe Street. Tickets can be purchased online, and trust us, you won’t want to miss this unique blend of education and entertainment! Grab your tickets here.
