Singing Through Chaos: Rabbi Elias Charry Memorial Potluck & Program

Join us at 6:00 PM for Kol Zimrah, then come to a potluck and program where we will jump into a mysterious story in the Talmud to probe how sacred song can hold our hopes, fears, and determination to do God’s work in the world. This session will include learning a melody.

In addition to studying words of Torah, she loves to bring niggunim to life through song and piano.
