Jared Stein is a music educator, composer, spiritual songleader, and professional acoustic folk/rock artist. He runs the Instrumental Music program at New Community Jewish High School and is Head Songleader/Songwriter-in-Residence for Camp Alonim in the summers.

He is a proverbial jack-of-all-trades when it comes to musical performance, including violin-beatboxing and yodeling.

He currently writes and/or performs with his wife, Jamie Stein, Mikey Pauker and the Joymachine, his family band, "The Rolling Steins," The Nashuva Band, Minyan Kol Chai, and The Stein Brothers.
