Rabboni

"Rabboni"
(Also Titled, "Mendel's Messiah")

Music & Lyrics by Jeremiah Ginsberg

Book by Jeremiah Ginsberg & Wendy Ginsberg

"Rabboni" is an original Messianic musical that dramatizes the life of Yeshua in a thoroughly Jewish and entertaining way. In the show, the humorous Jewish Narrator, Mendel Moskowitz from Brooklyn, is transported back to ancient Israel where he meets Yeshua and his disciples, as well as the comical egomaniac, Beelzebub. The story follows the Biblical account of Yeshua's life, showing the miracles, the crucifixion, and the resurrection. For Mendel, it's a life-changing, sometimes wacky journey to the discovery of the truth that Yeshua is the Jewish Messiah.

In 1981, Jeremiah produced "Rabboni" in California and won a Bronze Halo Award from The Southern California Motion Picture Council for "Excellence in Family Entertainment."

Then he brought the show to New York City and produced it off-Broadway during the entire summer of 1985 to much acclaim in both the secular and Christian press.

"Rabboni imparts the view that Jesus is Israel's Messiah. Jeremiah Ginsberg weaves his convictions in with a thoroughly entertaining musical, a neat little package of exhilarating song and dance... an up-tempo, captivating success." -- The Jewish Telegraphic Agency

"The 700 Club" did a feature story on "Rabboni," interviewing Jeremiah and showing portions of the off-Broadway production. In 1990, two songs from the show were featured at the ICEJ's Feast of Tabernacles in Jerusalem. In 1994, Jeremiah produced, directed and performed the role of "Mendel Moskowitz" in a major production of "Rabboni" at The Colony Theater in Miami Beach. Many Jewish people heard the Messianic Gospel, and some received their Messiah, including Holocaust survivors, glory to God.

Jeremiah produced a Pre-Broadway Cast Recording of the musical "Rabboni" featuring Marty Goetz, renowned Messianic recording artist, performing the lead role of Yeshua with the New York City cast.

The music critic for "The Messianic Times," Rose Golden, reviewed the Cast Recording in the Summer 1993 issue, and said,

"Jeremiah Ginsberg's Pre-Broadway Cast Recording of Rabboni is an articulate representation of dramatic music and Messianic Judaism... It is also an intelligent and sensitive expression of culture.

"Jew and Gentile, Believer and non-Believer alike will find these tapes and its accompanying booklet a fascinating excursion into the Jewish search for Messiah and the cold-blooded war Satan has waged against man and God.

"The beautiful melodies and counter-melodies are remarkably energetic and clever. Lullabies and ballads are skillfully positioned between operatic and upbeat modern musical tunes. Hasidic Jewish rhythm and sound reverberate through the entire collection.

"Rabboni is also an astounding tapestry of diverse vocal textures and styles. Marty Goetz, with his cantorial and gentle portrayal of the Master, is juxtapositioned in O Jerusalem, Jerusalem beside Christopher Regan's frolicking and raucous rendition of Beelzebub in The Last Days of Rome. Yeshua Messiah is sung by Tim McKanic... as you listen, you can almost hear the Jewish heart beating alongside the heart of God.

"The scope and delivery of this exhilarating musical celebration make it well worth buying."

The Pre-Broadway Cast Recording is a beautiful 2-cassette tape package with a 36-page booklet that contains all the lyrics plus a detailed synopsis of the story. It is available now and can be ordered from Jeremiah Ministries for $20.00. A CD is also available.
