STORIED. The Jewish Contribution to Bob Dylan

November 1 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm

Storied returns to The Berman with an all new live concert experience, STORIED: The Jewish Contribution to Bob Dylan , exploring the life, music, and meaning of Bob Dylan. Through a powerful blend of storytelling and live performance, this show uncovers the Jewish roots, biblical influences, and cultural forces that shaped one of the most influential artists of our time. From the folk scene to the poets, the Beats, the outcasts and outlaws, and the Bible, audiences will experience how Dylan’s words became a bridge between ancient tradition and modern music. Having been a thread running through each of Storied’s first five shows, Dylan now takes center stage in a production that brings together the stories, songs, and influences that have been hiding in plain sight, but are rarely explored in one place.

For this special performance, Storied founder Benji Rosenzweig is joined by journalist and cultural commentator Eve Barlow as co narrator, adding a dynamic new perspective to the storytelling experience. Together, they guide audiences through Dylan’s journey, from protest anthems and biblical imagery to questions of identity, purpose, and authenticity. More than a concert, this is an exploration of how music, meaning, and heritage intersect, and an invitation to reflect on how each of us can use our own voice and talents to make an impact.

This concert will spotlight different aspects of Jewish identity as it intersects with the artist’s career, exploring themes of community, spirituality, and resilience. “Music has always been a bridge between cultures, and…music resonates deeply throughout the Jewish experience,” says Benji Rosenzweig, STORIED. Co-Creator and host of the evening. “We are excited to continue creating a space where these stories can be heard and celebrated through the universal language of music.”

This unforgettable evening promises a journey through music and storytelling as we honor the bonds between Jewish culture and reggae. In a setting similar to MTV _ Unplugged _meets VH1 Storytellers , the band and Benji will go back and forth between storytelling and music. Don’t miss out on this fourth session of STORIED, a concert series audiences are raving about:
