Shirei Neshama
Song of Sacred Communal Time

Shirei Neshama is a special project of Shoresh Halev Center for Jewish Music at Beth El. For this multi-year project, we invite guest artists to join our community around Jewish holidays throughout the year. During their residency at Beth El, they premiere a new song that we’ve commissioned them to compose, inspired by the holiday. We then produce a documentary music video using material from the events.

To date, we have been honored to present the following artists:
• Nava Tehila – Yom ha’Atzmaut
• Galeet Dardashti – Passover
• Rabbi Josh Warshawsky – Shavuot
• Sir Frank London – Simchat Torah
• Hazzan Basya Schechter – Hanukkah
