Old Time Religion
Old Time Religion (OTR) celebrates the scriptures and traditions of the Hebrew People, drawing upon Southern Gospel, Black Spiritual, Tin-Pan Alley and Bluegrass music. OTR seeks to re-ignite the spirit of the Old Testament in a style that is authentic to the culture that we, as Americans, live.
Standing upon this musical heritage OTR seeks to intertwine song and scripture into an experience that uplifts and enlightens. Provides space for contemplation. And makes you want to get up out of your seat and clap your hands and sing along.

Moontower Minyan even inspired Brush to start a new band, “Old Time Religion,” which sings bluegrass songs about stories from the Hebrew Bible. “His service style is not the typical sit down and say the prayers that we always say, and do that,” ... “He is building and cultivating his own style and interpretation of spirituality, especially based around art and music, which resonates with me.”
“Before I came to Israel, I started getting inspired to write music in a very broad sense and I also happen to get inspired to write music that has a Jewish theme,” said Brush. He sings of going home to Zion Land, an original tune soon to be recorded.

What People Say
I woke up this morning, still smiling in the aftermath of last night’s Purim celebration. I’ve been to many in my many years as a practicing Jew, but none as joyous and so much fun as last night. Bless you for the work you are doing, and bless those who stand with you in this task.
The band, was awesome! I had the opportunity to socialize with many lovely humans and my friends had nothing but wonderful things to say about the whole experience.
We had so much fun! Amazing job with the music. It was a great service.
