POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

The fourth episode of Shabbat Unbound is out today!

Lecha Dodi with @mterlinchamp and @lexrofeberg — melody by @basbaslev!

We built something we've never heard before: a podcast that takes the Friday night Shabbat service and sets it completely free. One prayer per episode. Explored through song, study, and sacred conversation. No rushing. No skipping. Just Shabbat, the way it was always meant to feel.

Shabbat Shalom!! 🕯️

💙When we think of community here at LMPS, we think of singing together. And so we wanted to try something new: A virtual benefit song circle with some of our beloved teachers!

🎵Join Dodie Whitaker, Ary Solomon, and Batya Levine for an hour of music and community support. They’ll sing, and you’ll think about who in your life would want to support abundant Jewish music, vibrant singing culture, and transformative community-making. Or you can just come to listen :)

🌱We still have $43,278 left to raise to reach our $50,000 goal. If we do make our goal, then we can provide thousands of people with the nourishment of connecting with community, ancestral connection and song over the next 3-5 years. Nourishment that is so needed during times like these.Thank you for enabling this project to exist and grow, year after year. We could not do this without you.

Jewish Voices Rising: A Benefit Concert in Support of Gaza’s Children
Sunday, March 8th, 7-9pm | Newton, MA

Join us for an evening of song with Molly Bajgot, Marni Loffman, Batya Levine, and Adah Hetko and Levyosn. Let us come together to raise our communal voice for ongoing healing and transformation in Gaza.

Gaza Children Village was created by Palestinian-American Dr. David Hasan in April 2025 in response to the devastation of Gaza, and in particular the impact on tens of thousands of orphaned children. Gaza Children Village provides education, nutrition, healthcare, and psychosocial support for orphaned and vulnerable children across Gaza.

Wow 🤩 I cannot wait for this! This past summer I became the Interim Cantorial Soloist at Kerem Shalom in Concord, MA. One of the perks (and joys) of the job is getting to coordinate a concert with beloved local musicians and friends to usher in the week of Shabbat Shira. I’m so excited to bring @anatmuse @basbaslev @richiebarshay and @yoniavibattat together for this evening of music and to build our collective setlist. Boston and beyond, join us for Wellspring Havdlalah Concert on January 24th, it’s going to be a treat! 🍬

Join us in welcoming the week of Shabbat Shira, Shabbat of Song, with Wellspring, a participatory Havdalah Concert, featuring Interim Cantorial Soloist Molly Bajgot and musical guests Anat HaLevy Hochberg, Batya Levine, Yoni Battat, and Richie Barshay. Like a wellspring, song, music, and communal singing is a place that we can continuously return to to reinvigorate our spirits, to reenergize our senses, and to fortify our hearts for confronting a deeply challenging and broken world. Together, our song leaders will lead us in original compositions designed to ground us, uplift us, and generate joy. taken in Kerem Shalom - Vineyard of Peace by @basbaslev

Temple Beth Zion | Brookline, MA

A song for this upcoming day of mourning, Tisha b'Av 🤲 May we be held in our communal heartbreak for this utterly broken world.

Melody derived from the Ashkenazi trop (cantillation) for Eicha (text read on Tisha b’Av). Hebrew text from opening phrase of Eicha (sung in Ashkenazi trop). English and melody by Batya Levine.

אֵיכָה יָשְׁבָה בָדָד, הָעִיר רַבָּתִי עָם--הָיְתָה, כְּאַלְמָנָה
Eicha yashva vadad, ha'ir rabasi am haysa k'almanah
How is she sitting alone, the city who was once full of her people, how she is like a widow

Oh weary one, lay your head down and rest your aching bones on the ground
Oh fearful one, lay your head down and let your body breathe on the ground
Oh hopeless one, lay your head down and rest your heavy heart on the ground
Oh yearning one, lay your head down and sing your song into the ground
Oh rageful one, lay your head down and let your tears flow into the ground
Oh weary one, lay your head down and rest your aching bones on the ground
Oh Ancient One, as we lay our heads down, please lay with us on the ground
