Tuesdays @ 7 PM on Zoom

January 7 & 21, and February 11

Israeli popular music can be seen as interpretive prayer, poetry that arises directly and/or creatively as a unique and extraordinary form of liturgy.

In this course, we will explore, study, and get inspired by contemporary and timely expressions of prayer that can inspire us personally.

We will cover the Israeli state's founding poets, musical legends, and newcomers alike, who help us connect not only to the individual artists but also to liturgy in a more expansive way, and to Israel’s history (both in wartime and peacetime), her resilience, her beauty, and her personal and collective stories.
