SINGING AS A SPIRITUAL PRACTICE

7:30–9:00 p.m. Unless Otherwise Indicated

Our ongoing exploration of singing and new niggunim, wordless melodies, as a way of touching the deepest recesses of our souls. No special skills or talents are required.  If you’ve never prayed, this is an opportunity to experience transcendence without words of any kind. If you like to pray, these sessions will enhance and enrich your prayers. This will also be an opportunity to enlarge our Davening Core by supporting people who like singing to learn new melodies, harmonies and skills which will enliven our services.
