Sonia Project Weekend Part 2

Delve deeper into the spiritual practice of communal singing at our second Sonia Project Weekend with artist-in-residence (and rabbi-in-residence), Rabbi Sam Blustin. We’ll lift up our voices at a musical, candle-lit Shabbat service in the round followed by dinner, gather for a joyous Rebbe’s Tish with B’nai Mitzvah families on Saturday afternoon, and end Shabbat with a Magical Havdallah for adults that you won’t want to miss! Registration is required for the Friday-night dinner, and space is limited.

About the Sonia Project
In memory of Sonia Fishkin, the Sonia Project seeks to elevate the experience of communal singing at Ahavath Achim through meaningful gathering, education, and the commissioning of new liturgical melodies. This first cycle features our own Rabbi Sam Blustin, who will lead two artist-in-residence weekends and record and perform new liturgical music throughout the year. Thank you to Andy Zangwill, the Sonia Fishkin Memorial Fund, and the Marilyn Ginsberg Eckstein Cultural Arts Program Fund for their sponsorship of this initiative.
