Welcome back! Join us in an Elul themed uplifting night of song, niggun, bluegrass, and Jewish music as we spiritually prepare ourselves for the High Holidays. We will be joined by Ariel Wyner on guitar/mandolin, Sofia Chiarandini on Fiddle, and Dor Herskovits on percussion.
Melaveh Malkah, literally “Escorting The Queen, is the Jewish term for the transition from the experience and prominence of our “Shabbat Queen” into the weekday. In the spirit of this tradition, Jacob’s Ladder leads the community in a special musical gathering as we say goodbye to Shabbat with a familiar kavannah (intention) reminiscent of its grand welcoming. Experience the magic of the musical energy and soul-clenching melodies, and feel the presence of community, new and old friends, and deep Jewish connection.
Jacob's Ladder is a band seeking to push the boundaries of contemporary Jewish music and traditional American Roots music through Jewish communal singing and prayer. In melding these two identities, they tell their musical story through Eastern European Ashkenazic and Sephardic Jewish traditions, but also through their American heritage and its influence on their unique musical style.
Registration is required. Donations optional and appreciated.
