Summer 2026 filled our cups — sacred time with our beloveds in so many beautiful places. Leaving this here for posterity as we attempt to say goodbye to this season and turn towards fall. Starting with blissful just-us time in Provincetown 🌈

Eight years ago today, we gathered in a living room for an Elul experiment - and New Moon Rising was born! #throwbackthursday to this sweet house concert, where it all began.

Through ups and downs both personal and communal, the three of us have shown up for each other through song - and we are grateful to get to share this musical expression of care and connection with you along the way! We are so excited for yet another year ahead of harmony, friendship, and collaborative joy! by @elanahope

A composer, multi-instrumentalist, and one of the most influential voices in contemporary Jewish music, @elanahope is not only bringing her talent to the Biennial stage, she is also serving as its Music Director! As an internationally touring artist and educator, Elana's original music is sung in Jewish communities worldwide. She has released five acclaimed albums, performed at Carnegie Hall and the White House, and serves proudly on the faculty of @huc1875, @sug_singuntogod, and other leading Jewish institutions across North America and beyond. by @elanahope

@newmoonrisingtrio brings together three of the most dynamic and creative voices in Jewish music -- @elanahope, Rabbi @debsmintz, and @chavam -- and the results are pure magic. As a trio of female powerhouses, New Moon Rising embodies the best that musical collaboration can be: a soulful oasis of rich harmonies, deep friendship, and joy. We’re excited to welcome them for a special late-night performance during URJ Biennial. 🌖🎵 by @elanahope
