Jalopy Theatre, 315 Columbia St - Brooklyn
Join The Neighborhood and Lab/Shul and other community partners to lift your voice in a collective and contemplative musical journey led by Eliana Light (beloved LMPS teacher), alongside musicians Carla Friend, Coleen Dieker, Drew Cohen, Jesse Chevan, and Shira Kline. (Let My People Sing! is proud to be co-sponsoring this event!)
The Hebrew month of Elul leads up to the High Holidays of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. Many Jewish traditions observe the month of Elul as a sacred time in which we can open our hearts, souls, and voices to prepare for the days of awe ahead. This month calls us to connect and reflect; to yearn and return; to open ourselves to the possibility of transformation. What better way to undertake this journey than through a communal gathering centered around sacred song?
Eliana Light envisions a joyful, vibrant, heart-centered Judaism that speaks to the soul and moves the spirit, reminding us that we all are One. Her fourth album of playful & soulful original melodies, ORAH HI, was released in fall of 2023. Eliana is also the founder of the Light Lab and host of the Light Lab Podcast. Based in Durham, NC, Eliana visits communities around the country as an artist-in-residence, making Jewish liturgy and prayer practice accessible and meaningful through leading, teaching, and song.
