ABOUT MIKEY PAUKER:

Described by TIME Magazine as one of “The 10 Stars of the New Jewish Music,” Mikey is a devotional Jewish rock and reggae artist whose spiritually infused music blends rock, reggae, folk and hip-hop with deep Jewish wisdom and prayer sung in both English and Hebrew.

A trailblazer in the Jewish rock crossover movement, Mikey has built a global following, performing at major secular festivals and Jewish spiritual gatherings alike. His vibrant performances have brought him to stages such as Red Rocks, Bhakti Fest, Hullaween, ARISE, Envision, and Chant for Change on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. He has shared the stage with artists including Matisyahu, Stephen Marley, Trevor Hall, Rebelution, Krishna Das, Toots & The Maytals and Idan Raichel.

In recent years, as antisemitism has risen worldwide, Mikey has spoken openly about standing proudly in his Jewish and Zionist identity. In 2025, he filed a federal lawsuit after a Hanukkah concert was canceled under pressure from anti-Zionist activists. The case is being closely watched as it addresses Zionist identity as an expression of Jewish faith and religious freedom.

Mikey is currently studying in the Kol-Bo Rabbinic and Cantorial Ordination Program at the Academy of Jewish Religion in New York, continuing to expand his work as a spiritual leader, educator and prayer facilitator.

He will be offering 4 different opportunities to hear his music at Kol Shofar:
