Say hello to "B Pagz" the affectionate name given to me by my friends and fellow songleaders at URJ Eisner as a kid growing up. My given name is Ben Pagliaro and you can check out more about that in on my lifelong partnership page. Here's how I remember the story:

​

"How would you like to be a songleader?" Evan Seti said to me one day at Eisner Camp as we were walking from The Quad to the Tzofim Beitam. He handed me a guitar, and that was that. The next day we set off to lead the "Song for the Divine Mother of the Universe" for our unit and I've been Songleading ever since.

​

I recently returned to camp as guest songleader and we brought back the name B Pagz so the legacy lives on at least for now.
