Hadar empowers Jews to create & sustain vibrant, practicing, egalitarian communities of Torah, Avodah, and Hesed.
Description
On March 26, join Rabbi Deborah Sacks Mintz for a live album-release concert celebrating Songs From the Beit Midrash, her third album of spiritual music with Rising Song Records. This gathering brings the music off the recording and into shared space for an evening of song, learning, and communal joy.
Songs From the Beit Midrash is inspired by the creative and relational energy of the beit midrash and the wealth of Torah it holds. For the recording of this album, Hadar transformed its NYC Yeshiva into a recording studio, bringing forth new music as creative expression emerging from a living, breathing space of Torah, Avodah, and Hesed, where study, prayer, and community meet. This concert invites that spirit into the room, transforming the performance into a communal experience.
Anchored by an ensemble of musicians from the folk, jazz, and world music scenes and supported by a community nigun circle, R. Deborah brings eleven new melodies rooted in Jewish liturgy to life. The music features a rich sonic palette of lush strings, electric instrumentals, and powerful harmonies, weaving prayerful intention with bold artistic expression.
Doors open 7:00 PM for a 7:30 PM show. Walk-ins welcome!
Presented in partnership with Congregation Beth Elohim and the Center for New Jewish Culture in Brooklyn, this album-release concert is both a celebration and an invitation: to sing together, to explore the texts behind the melodies, and to experience the communal possibilities embedded within this new body of work.
