Jews Do the Blues 2025 features one of Coachella Valley’s most talented performers, Deanna Bogart, backed by a wonderful team of musicians from near and far. She joins Rabbi David Lazar in presenting you with a spiritual experience of music and banter benefiting Or Hamidbar.

This year’s Jews Do the Blues 2025 is held in honor of Serene Lazar (z”l)
beloved mother of Rabbi David Lazar, and a cherished donor and supporter of Or Hamidbar from its earliest days.

Serene loved Jews Do the Blues. Her sparkling warmth and humor made her a beloved presence wherever she went, and her lifelong dedication to Jewish community and Tikkun Olam continues to inspire us. We will celebrate her life and lasting legacy through an evening of music and spirit, just as she would have loved.

Please consider honoring Serene’s memory by choosing one of our sponsorship opportunities below. Your gift will further the mission she helped nurture.
