Who is Nava Tehila? See video and description below. The internationally acclaimed group has created much of the music we use in our services.
Friday, Jan 17, 7-9pm and Saturday Jan 18, 9:30-noon Kabbalat Shabbat (Friday eve) and Shacharit (Saturday Morning)
Join the leaders of Nava Tehila, Jerusalem, for a musical Kabbalat Shabbat and Shacahrit journey as we travel into the landscape of holiness and joy. Chanting Psalms and Shabbat prayers, with original melodies and guided intentions, we will connect to the spirit and allow it to fill our hearts, uplift our souls and welcome the Shabbat. Saturday's service will be followed by an optional lunch.
Saturday, Jan 18, 4:30-6:30pm (followed by Havdalah) and Sunday Jan 19, 9:30-11:30am Teachings on Ana B'khoach with Rabbi Ruth - Kabbalistic Secrets of Ascent
Ana B'Khoach is a beautiful ancient mystical chant that encodes the mysterious 42-letter name of God. It symbolizes our spiritual journey in times of transition and of being in liminal spaces. Ana B’Khoach offers us deep insights into the nature of reality and a wealth of mystical practices ranging from simple ones for everyday use, to advanced ones for those who are further on along the mystical path. Come and taste, through texts, imagery, chanting and inner attunement how to invite Ana B`khoach to be a part of your own ascent

Bio:
Nava Tehila is the Jewish renewal congregation of Jerusalem. The group grew out of a Jewish Renewal Jerusalem community by the same name, founded by Rabbi Ruth Gan Kagan, which experiments with new ideas for enlivening prayer and Jewish ritual.
One of their main foci is creating musical, engaging prayer spaces where people feel comfortable to come as they are. Nava Tehila’s musical spiritual leaders generate new prayer modalities, compose new music for prayer and train Jewish leaders, including rabbis, cantors and students, in the art of musical and innovative prayer leading. They travel to communities throughout the Jewish world in Israel, the US and Europe to lead musical prayer, concerts and workshops and to share their unique approach that has proven to be successful in drawing people from all backgrounds into Jewish prayer and Yiddishkeit.
Nava Tehila has produced three albums of music for Shabbat and High Holiday prayers, and run a resource website that offers prayer leaders free access to sheet music and recordings of our new material through Google Drive. Find out more and listen at www.NavaTehila.org
