Music, the universal language, demonstrates another feat of unity in the powerful collaboration of Lapidus & Myles. Rabbi Micah Lapidus is composer-in-residence at the Temple of Atlanta, and Melvin Myles is a member and singer at Ebenezer Baptist Church – two faith communities with a proud history of allyship.

“We need to all come together to try to hold each other up in this moment, Blacks and whites, Jews, Christians, whatever your faith is,” said Myles.

Lapidus & Myles’ friendship has always been driven by music, and the pair recently released two new singles as part of a collection they call “Music for People of Conscience.” The duo are performing at Eddie’s Attic on March 15.

Rabbi Micah Lapidus and singer Melvin Myles joined “City Lights” host Lois Reitzes to share more about their latest collaboration.
