Much of the Sing Out For Justice album was recorded live at the Reform Movement's Biennial Convention in Dallas, Texas, on November 1, 1997. There, eminent singer-songwriters of our Jewish community gathered to proclaim, through their music, that the struggle for justice must be ever renewed. Other voices who have inspired generations of Jews-and are certain to do so for this generation and the next-recorded especially for this album; but all donated their time and considerable talent to this album and the cause it benefits - the Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism.
From the booklet accompanying the CD and Cassette:
From lullabies to anthems, music is the language of our deepest passions. No passion defines the Jewish people more centrally than our passion for justice. The songs on this album are songs of social justice - music with an agenda. For in the music itself is the hope of a better world, and the conviction that such a world is attainable.
When we are tired and fear we cannot go on, the music of justice can serve to lift our spirits, renew our vision, and renew our struggle. For the hungry children and the Redwood Forests, for the stymied victims of racism and the homeless huddled on winter streets, for all those who cry out in the night - and above all for our own children - this music challenges us once again, to ensure that justice and freedom prevail.
