Hadar's RSI Summer Gathering 2022

Here's Hadar's description, copied from Facebook:

Nearly 150 folks gathered for a day of immersive music, learning, and communal conversation at Hadar’s Rising Song Institute Summer Gathering [which took place last Sunday, August 21, 2022, at the beautiful Bet Am Shalom Synagogue in White Plains, NY]. 

 

It was a joyful and heart-opening experience of sinking into song - taking deep dives with our faculty into nigunim, piyyutim, and even some brand new compositions. We can't wait for the next opportunity to gather and sing again!

And my own comments, also copied from Facebook:

It's not often that we have an opportunity to sing with people who aren't shy or self-conscious about singing in public, and we enjoyed ourselves thoroughly. Harmony heaven!

It was definitely a good time not only for the attendees, but also for the faculty--this was Hadar's Rising Song Institute's first in-person musical event since Dec. 2019.

 

This will be our next opportunity to sing together:

 

Ahat Sha'alti: Song and Study for Elul
Rabbi Deborah Sacks Mintz

When? Tuesdays, 7:30-8:45 PM
Sept 6-20 (3 sessions)

Recited each day of Elul and throughout the yamim noraim (Days of Awe), Psalm 27 serves as a core liturgical anchor of the season. Over the course of 3 sessions of singing and learning together, we'll root ourselves in both the soundscape and reflective potential of this important prayer. Join us and help create a unique space of song, spirituality, and connection as we prepare for the High Holidays together. Light refreshments will be served at 7:00 PM.

Register here.

Hadar is not live-streaming this, unfortunately, but I hope they'll record it and make the recording available.
