Shabbat Shirah Shalom. This week in Torah, the children of Israel - led by Moses and Miriam - sing Shirat Hayam (Song of the Sea - Exodus 15:1-18), pouring their hearts out in poetic songs of praise to God for redeeming them in safety from slavery and punishing their Egyptian oppressors. This Shabbat is generally filled with musically enriched programs in most synagogues.
JCoOC will be joining the Sisterhood of Temple Beth El in South County beginning at 9:30am for their Kol Isha Shabbat Service (KISS) that will feature special guest, Neshama Carlebach, who some of you might remember from our Shabbat to Remember on September 11. The link to registrater for KISS is below.
If you missed a chance to indulge in a spiritual Tu b'Shevat celebration yesterday, I highly recommend this virtual program hosted by the Rising Song Institute and some wonderful collaborative partners. The music and teaching are great. Download their beautiful Tu b'Shevat HagaddahHERE. Watch the program HERE. A perfect way to spend a rainy afternoon!
We hope you will able to join us tomorrow night on Zoom or Facebook for our special program with Martin Goldsmith, author of The Inextinguishable Symphony, A True Story of Music and Love in Nazi Germany and Maestro Murry Sidlin, founder of theDefiant Requiem Foundation.
