Get Your Kavannah in Gear for the Holidays with Steve Wetter!
Shabbat, Sep 21st 10:00a to 11:00a
For Shabbat Morning Learning, Steve will refresh our memories of the beautiful nusach (musical themes) for Hatzi Kaddish unique to the Days of Awe, taking us from the majestic evening nusach to the plaintive, yearning melody we only hear at the very end of Yom Kippur. Maybe some of us will be able to sing along! He'll review a few niggunim (Ha-sidic melodies) that will be featured during this year’s services and share stories about their colorful history.
