Outdoor rooftop location in Chelsea, Manhattan. Address will be sent upon registration.
The Psalms are some of the most widely read poetry ever written. Cutting through time, space and traditions they touch billions of people around the globe today. But their translations often render them remote, stiff, "religious" in the worst sense of the word. Over the last year Rabbi Misha has chosen a few of the most political of the Psalms and attempted to translate them in a way that cuts through the paradigms of God, the Patriarchy and traditional power structures and into the intimate heart of these poems of power and love.
The translations will be presented with musical accompaniment by trumpeter Frank London and multi-instrumentalist Yonatan Gutfeld, and performed by Maria Silverman and Martin Rekhaus.
After the performance, join us for a Tikkun Leil Shavuot, a late night celebration of learning, music and wine. We will be joined by teachers Dr. Lizzie Berne Degear, Rabbi Jim Ponet, Elana Ponet and Michael Posnick, who will help us mark the holiday of Shavuot with teachings of transformation, translation and stillness.
