Join us this upcoming Friday for a joyful Kabbalat Shabbat Service, co-led by Rabbi Diane, Sheldon Sands and special guest, Cantorial Student Ev Evnen (they/them). Ev will be bringing some new melodies and teachings to augment familiar tunes and faces as we transition from weekday to Shabbat, and continue our spiritual journeying from Passover to Shavuot, from redemption to revelation. Bring your full selves to this heartfelt and transformative service!

About Ev:

Music has always been a portal to something deeper for Ev (they/them). Since first leading Adon O’lam as a young child, they have found a special home in Jewish music. Ev understands song as a way to move us to higher spiritual intensity, a way to connect us to our ancestors, and as a way to be in community with each other. As a Shaliach Tzibbur, Ev strives to daven (pray) with kavanah (intention) and ruach (Spirit), bringing the kahal (community) along in their own spiritual journey. Ev has been trained by Rabbi Ariana Katz and Daniel Neiden and is a newly matriculated ALEPH cantorial student. They are thrilled to be joining the Nevei community for the May 5th service!
