“Embracing the Moment Before the Light” Kirtan Kabbalat Shabbat ~ Led by musician and storyteller Anna Sobel, with Rabbah Riqi Kosovske and musicians Brian Bender, Ana Villalobos, Shimon Ben-Shir and Aaron Kropf. 🕎
Shemot Shelah “Her Names” is a Jewish Kirtan band offering Hebrew call-and-response chanting with feminine and non-binary Names for the Divine, and new music composed by Anna Sobel.
Kirtan is a devotional practice that opens the heart and paves the way for states of bliss, healing and peace. Storytelling plays a part in each event, as Anna brings to light historical women's practices, liturgy and poetry that relate to our practice of chanting.
A light vegetarian Oneg potluck reception with Kiddush and challah to follow in the Rainbow room.
The event is free, and your donations are encouraged and appreciated to support the event. All welcome! 🕎
