Ben Romano

Musician in Residence

Ben Romano is the new Musician in Residence at the Nursery School and will be tending to the musical experience throughout each of the departments of the Marlene Meyerson JCC. He lives in Brooklyn with his wife, Rabbi Bailey Romano, and his cat, Motzi Lechem. He believes that music has the ability to connect us through our differences and bring more peace and harmony into the world. Before moving back home to New York, he taught in Synagogues and Schools in Cincinnati, OH, and Washington, DC. He has written and produced three albums of Jewish music (under his given name “Ben Pagliaro”) and is currently working on his second Children’s Book entitled “The Rhinos Next Door.” He can’t wait to invite you to sing, strum and sway your way through the year ahead!
