Embedded within each lyrical and liturgical text that we sing aloud are stories, deep secrets, and intricate connections between Hebrew words and themes. How can the melodies we sing help us to better express the emotions the words already hope to convey? Together we’ll deepen our understanding of the wisdom of our tradition and sing out with a newfound understanding of the words we bring into the world.
