Past Event
Shir Chadash a Moishe House Peer-Led retreat
Organised by
David Schapiro
As Psalms 96 teaches us "Sing to God a new song", join us for a musical and meaningful Shabbaton during the month of Elul as we prepare for the high holidays on a scenic farm in the Uckermark. We will begin the retreat with Kabbalat Shabbat followed by a delicious kosher dinner and singing and dancing before we go to sleep awaiting the new day. There will be multiple Shiurim (workshops) from our special guest Hazan Jalda Rebling, on topics exploring Jewish music, tradition and building holy community. We will be making a lot of music together (don’t worry if you’re shy!) and learning how to be together in holy community connected through Jewish music. We welcome Jews of all backgrounds to join us on this retreat, and want to emphasize: you don’t need to know anything about Jewish prayer or music or be musically talented to attend, you just have to be willing to embark on this journey of communal singing with us — sometimes the most powerful form of prayer can come from just repeating
