Restless Heart pushed forward the vision I first articulated with In Pursuit — Jewish worship music reimagined for a secular setting.

The live album from the release of In Pursuit, it has Jamie’s fan favorite covers “Hallelujah” by Leonard Cohen and “Supernatural Superserious” by REM.

In Pursuit was the culmination of many years’ dreaming and crafting a new vision of Jewish music.

When I discovered it, I was confused why we would bless the “years” every day, but I realized that it teaches us to treat every day as an opportunity to begin again.
