Jeff Klepper

Jeff Klepper is a trailblazer in contemporary Jewish music, known for transforming worship through songs that inspire connection and community.

As co-founder of Kol B’Seder with Rabbi Dan Freelander, Jeff's music has resonated across generations, with melodies like the iconic "Shalom Rav" now embedded in Jewish prayer services worldwide. Rooted in both Jewish tradition and the folk revival spirit of the 1970s, Jeff's music creates a soulful bridge between the sacred and the everyday.

A cantor, composer, and educator, Jeff has spent decades teaching how communal singing can deepen spirituality, foster unity, and renew Jewish life. Whether leading services, performing, or teaching, his artistry touches hearts and invites everyone—whether lifelong participants or newcomers—to join in the celebration.
