Jonathan Rimberg and former Oak Parker Jeff Braverman make up the

modern Orthodox duo "Shoresh" (Hebrew for roots).

Copland School of Music. His
main job involves managing the
Nafshenu Orchestra while also
producing records at his own
studio, Tracks Unlimited.
Shoresh formed after the two
men became friends while
recording Songs of Peace. They
have gone on to record Together
As One, Shoresh and Candle of
Freedom. Rimberg also has
recorded A Kumzitz Celebration
and Chanukah! Your Favorite
Songs.
"When it comes to composing
the music and writing the lyrics,
I do the rough drawings and
Jonathan colors in," Braverman
explains. "We believe that our
styles complement each other!'
Both entertainers have family
members who also have worked
in show business. Braverman's
grandmother, Lena Drozen, was
a singer on a Yiddish radio show
in Buffalo. Rimberg's cousin,
Michael Ochs, is a songwriter in
Nashville.
As their musical careers devel-
oped, their families have become

close, and they have spent holi-
days together as well as time at
Camp Nesher. Braverman and
his wife, Susan, a Hebrew
teacher, have three children:
Jordana, 10; Melissa, 7; and
Jonah, 5. Rimberg and his wife,
Elit, also have three children:
Amiel, 7; Yonadav, 4; and
Hodaya, 2.
"This will be the third time
Shoresh has performed in
Michigan, and we've had good
times with our audiences;' says
Braverman, who also recalls
bringing the Nafshenu Orchestra
to Michigan. "There are certain
songs we don't perform with just
three of us because the orches-
trations just wouldn't be right.
Also, some of the messages seem
too deep for a cafe program!' El
