Joy of Prayer Chanting

MJCBY welcomes Len Hausman who will lead us in an approach to Kabbalat Shabbat in a different manner

than we usually do. Instead of singing together many words of the liturgy, we

will be focusing on just a few of the words, (except for L'cha Dodi) and paying

attention to the intent we wish those words to have. We will then be taking those

words into us, by means of repeating these sacred phrases to a simple melody.

There will be light musical accompaniment to enhance this practice. Our aim is

to open us to a new experience of bringing in Shabbat, and to do so in an

embodied way, as chant may be considered a 'yoga in sound.'
