Shabbat Morning Kehillah Service
Saturday, 19 January, 2019 • 13 Shevat 5779
9:45 AM - 12:15 PMNOW Room, lower levelThe third Saturday morning of the month features a service with an alternative approach. Each Kehillah Service features a short musically-driven service and a potpourri of activities led by OrH members and Rabbi Liz, addressing a theme or concept related to the season, or the weekly Torah portion. Following a closing gathering that include the opportunity to recite the Mourner’s Kaddish, we’ll enjoy a delicious communal pot-luck Kiddush luncheon.
This month's theme:
Let Our People Sing!
What did our people do immediately upon our liberation, after crossing safely through the waters? We sang! “And Miriam … took her timbrel in her hand … and chanted for them: Sing to YHVH a new song! [Ex 15:20-21]
This Shabbat Shirah we’ll sing our way through a lively, abbreviated morning service, and gather around the Torah scroll to see and hear the unique melody for the Song of the Sea at the heart of this week’s parshah.
Then choose from two musically-infused activities:
- an old-fashioned singing circle for singers and instrumentalists of all ages and stages! Drum, pluck, sing or clap through your favourites from Rise Up Singing! Bring your copy (or use one of ours), bring your fiddles, your spoons, your voices, your timbrels!
- a learning opportunity with our own resident expert in the music and liturgy of the Jewish people – Rabbi Liz! Learn how each era in Judaism built on the developments of the previous era along with sounds of the surrounding cultures, to create what we now hear as the “norm” in most North American Ashkenazi congregations. We’ll explore what makes a tune “traditional” and other issues around creating meaningful prayer experiences through music.
