New Music Evening
20:00 – 21:30
An opportunity to learn and sing new liturgical music with Rabbi Josh and Katie Hainbach, our Head of Music and Arts. We will learn a number of new pieces which will be sung across our range of services, as well as discussing how the music fits the liturgy. You do not need to read sheet music to attend this event, which is suitable for everyone including choir members and all those who love to sing in shul.
Attendees of previous sessions said: “I really enjoyed hearing about the background to a piece of music – who the composer was, and how the piece came to be written”. “I enjoyed watching the professionals working together, explaining their thinking about a piece of music and how, when and why it might fit into our services”. “I enjoyed learning a new piece of music just for fun, without any pressure to ‘perform’”

Jewish Mindfulness Meditation: “In Sound Mind ‘Hear, O Israel'”
20:00 – 21:00
Join us for an hour of mindfulness and meditation with Maxine Levy to travel beyond the often dominant ‘noise’ of mind, to an often elusive feeling of internal balance and to a place of inner silence.
And isn’t it extraordinary that part and parcel of this journey is being present to struggle. Thoughts are impulses. Be guided through some simple techniques to harness positive vibration, to embrace the resonance of struggle through connecting to breath, body and sound in order to experience Hearing Ourselves, Listening to Ourselves and Being Ourselves. We’ll ‘feel’ the words as we read a Psalm of David and then immerse ourselves in the sounds of silence. Just what do we hear exactly when we listen? What do we hear when we hear ourselves? What does silence sound like? What does it feel like to be present to the sound of sound, and to the sound of self?
Let’s see what emerges when we become the observer and the sounding board for ourselves. And as we tap in, making intuitive connections beyond words, we will perhaps start to see, feel and hear everything merge – and resonate with the significance of the words at the heart of Judaism and at the hearth of so many wisdoms. ‘Hear O Israel. the Lord Our God, the Lord is One’.
