Sing Your Heart - Sulam Style
A different type of Fifth Friday service
 
What is a Sulam Service?
In Hebrew, “sulam” means both a ladder and the notation on a musical staff.
A Sulam Service is more spiritually focused in which we sing melodies (either with words or as niggunim) a number of times through, so that we can sink into them. Music will include both new-ish and familiar melodies. You can learn the new melodies here. At a Sulam service, we don’t use musical instruments, except possibly an acoustic guitar for some songs. Sometimes we include drumming (but not this time.)
 
We've done this style of service a few times at Etz:
with Scholar-in-Residence Rabbi Dorothy Richman;
at a Fri night service with Rabbi Rebecca Schatz;
and a couple of times with Rabbi Chaim and a group of co-leaders

We look forward to singing our hearts together.
