Singing Our Way to Freedom: Song & Havdalah with Aly Halpert

In times of brokenness, it's often even harder to dream towards a world that is whole. Singing is a tool that helps us connect, remember our collective humanity, and to move through feelings of grief and joy. Singing literally helps bring about the world we're dreaming -- grounding us in our bodies, in community, and in hope as a practice. This Passover, come join us at Congregation Beth El of the Sudbury River Valley (bethelsudbury.org) for an evening of healing and rejuvenating original music with Aly Halpert, who will teach and lead songs towards the collective liberation we deserve. We'll say goodbye to Shabbat together and orient through song towards the world we want to build.
