Shebrew in the City

Send us a text

When the echoes of Michael Jackson's beats ignited a young Stefano Iacono's love for music, little did he know it would pave his way to becoming a cantor. Join me, Nicole Kelly, as I chat with Stefano on Shebrew in the City and share a symphony of anecdotes that illustrates how his musical zeal intertwined with a spiritual awakening. Together, we'll explore the nuances of his melodious journey, from acquiring guitar skills out of envy to finding solace in the strums that now feel like an extension of his soul, all while uncovering the serendipitous twists that shaped his path to the harmonious role he cherishes today.
In this extra packed episode of Shebrew in the City, come on a journey of discovery and heart as Stefano takes me beat by beat through his life, his conversion to Judaism, and his work in the clergy today. This episode includes musical excerpts from "Out of the Closet" A fearless celebration of queer music and the voices who inspire us that was hosted by Cantor Stefano Iacono at Congregation Rodeph Sholom.
