Twice a Month for Winter and Spring

 

As part of our communal explorations of tefillah, the substance and modes of our prayer, this winter and spring we will experiment with spaces and song in twice monthly Shir Shacharit. For these weeks, the first hour of our communal tefillah will be more intimate and songful - come early and take part in creating the soundscape of prayer! Shir Shacharit began as an initiative of the Beth Jacob community and continues as part of our commitment to explore together multiple ways of creating and finding meaning in our tefillah.

  Next Meetings:

December 22

1/5, 1/19, 2/9, 2/23, 3/9, 3/23, 4/27, 5/11
