Join us for communal singing and learning as we explore the theme:
Celebrating the Gift of Torah
Our Guidebook for Building a World of Peace through Love and Song

"Her ways are pleasant ways, And all her paths, peaceful. She is a tree of life to those who grasp her, And whoever holds on to her is happy." – Proverbs 3:17-18

What is a Rising Song and Learning Circle?
It’s a communal gathering where we learn easy-to-memorize wordless songs (Niguns) and songs with lyrics that we sing together with Kavanah—meaning and intent. You don’t need to be an experienced singer—just come and enjoy the experience. Whether you sing along or simply listen, this is an empowering, non-judgmental space where we practice opening our voices together. We’ll sing songs from our Jewish heritage, connecting with each other and the power of collective song.

About Sivan:
Sivan is the third month in the Nisan cycle, following Nisan and Iyar. It includes the holiday of Shavuot on the 6th and 7th day, when we celebrate the defining moment of Judaism—the giving of the Torah at Mount Sinai.
