Chevra haChachamot<p>Min HaMeitzar: From the Narrow Place seeks to dissolve the traditional divide between performers and audience by inviting the kahal (community) into the musical experience. This hour-long program features original compositions by Lev DePaolo, founder and director of MIRYAM Ensemble, scored for voice, Baroque cello, Baroque violin, and theorbo. The repertoire includes settings of Yedid Nefesh, Kol HaNeshamah, Essa Einai, and verses from Yotzer Or.</p><p>The ensemble will present fully orchestrated versions of each piece, interwoven with simplified refrains that encourage communal singing. Through repetition, variation, and moments of silent meditation, we will explore how music can foster deeper connection and shared meaning.</p><p>We are also honored to welcome Aly Halpert and Hazzan Jessi Roemer, who will share original compositions of their own.</p><p>Tix: <a href="https://www.societyhillsynagogue.org/miryam/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">societyhillsynagogue.org/mirya</span><span class="invisible">m/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://babka.social/tags/Mazeldon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Mazeldon</span></a> <a href="https://babka.social/tags/Judaism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Judaism</span></a> <a href="https://babka.social/tags/Jewish" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Jewish</span></a></p>
