By the early 2000s, Recht and his band were touring nationwide, delivering about 150 performances a year, included for an estimated audience of 30,000 people at the Los Angeles Jewish Festival in 2003.[2]

In 2010, Recht founded Jewish Rock Radio, one of the first exclusively Jewish rock online radio stations in the United States.[3][4]

Recht is the Artist-in-Residence at the United Hebrew Congregation in Chesterfield, Missouri, where he provides music for Shabbat, High Holidays, and other programming.[5]

In October 2023, the nonprofit Judaism Alive (of which Recht is executive director) organized the virtual event nity in Harmony: Standing in Solidarity, Song, and Prayer for Israel. Recht appeared with fellow musicians and community leaders, including David Broza, Nefesh Mountain, JFNA board member Julie Platt, Winnie Grinspoon of the Harold Grinspoon Foundation, and Rabbi David Ingber of the 92nd Street Y.[6]
