CRAIG TAUBMAN: Making A Sacred Sound

Send us Fan MailBy his mid 50s Craig Taubman had already enjoyed great musical success in the secular and Jewish worlds, with his songs sung at synagogues and Jewish summer camps across the country.  But he felt the need to do more.  So he bought a building in downtown Los Angeles.  His initial proposal was shot down by his daughter.  Craig says she called it “the dumbest idea he ever had.”  Here’s to constructive criticism, because the eventual idea, the Pico Union Project, a multi faith community worship and performing arts center, has brought joy and connection to an L.A. neighborhood, just as his music has done for decades for so many of us.
