This popularity and success led him
further into the rock culture of the sixties - including all the
trappings of a typical rock star: experimentation with and heavy use
of various drugs and plunging into wild parties and illicit affairs.
In short, he became a prodigal son.
In 1970, Jeremy's excessive lifestyle caught up with him and he died
of a drug overdose on the way to the hospital. In this death
experience, God spoke to Jeremy saying, "I am giving you back your
life to do some work for Me!" As soon as that was spoken, Jeremy awoke
in a hospital bed.
Several years passed before Jeremy obeyed the voice he heard that
evening. He continued in the secular music field with Dave Mason, who
recorded Jeremy's song, "Spend Your Life With Me," and Eddie Money,
who also recorded one of Jeremy's songs, "Call On Me."
In 1978, Jeremy found himself in Eureka Springs, Arkansas, with a role
in the Passion Play that was presented annually by the city. He played
one of the two thieves on the cross. After hanging on the cross in
front of 4,000 people for two nights, the Holy Spirit started working
in Jeremy's heart. After the evening performance, Jeremy retreated to
a cabin in the woods and he broke down and cried, realizing his
sinfulness. In the middle of that night he awoke and heard the same
voice he had witnessed seven years earlier, this time saying: "My son,
your sins are forgiven, but go and sin no more, for I have a brand new
life for you." At that moment, Jeremy totally dedicated his life to
the Lord Yeshua (Jesus).
Jeremy is an ordained Messianic Rabbi and Cantor who served for nine
years at Temple Aron Ha Kodesh in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, one of the
largest Messianic synagogues in the world. He also has led worship in
many Messianic synagogues, churches and worship conferences and has
helped to build up praise and worship programs throughout the body of
Yeshua. He has also recorded, arranged and produced several albums:
"Let Every Knee", "Hebrew Lord", "I believe in Yeshua", "Praise Your
Name", "Behold the Bridegroom", "In Heavenly Places," "He Reigns," "On
Mount Zion" and "In the Presence of the Lord."
His newest album is "All Rise," which features 14 original songs. In addition, he
ministers in other congregations by giving musical concerts, leading
praise and worship, teaching on the Biblical Jewish roots of
Christianity, and sharing his dynamic testimony.
Jeremy has made several national television appearances, including
"The New Jim Bakker Show," "Keeping in Truth," "Praise the
Lord," "Jewish Jewels," and "Jewish Voice" broadcasts.
He performed in concert at the regional MJAA conference in Florida in
late 2009. He is a regular guest on Branson Radio Live locally. The
international ministry "Jews for Jesus" has published for worldwide
distribution a Messianic Hymnal with many of Jeremy's songs in it.
These songs and many others that he has written are now being used for
praise and worship in congregations all around the world, especially
in the U.S., Israel, Europe and Latin America.
Jeremy is the Rabbi and worship leader of The Tabernacle, a rapidly
growing Messianic Jewish congregation meeting Friday evenings and
Saturday mornings in Branson, Missouri.
