Join Cantor Perry Fine on Thursdays, Nov. 6 and 13, at 1 p.m. via Zoom, for this in-depth look at the niggun, the wordless melody of Jewish liturgical tradition. From sadness to ecstasy, the niggun has connected Jews for centuries with the many facets and emotions of Jewish prayer.
Cantor Fine’s series is part of the West Morris Section’s Our Jewish World program, co-chaired by Ilene Dorf Manahan and Melanie Levitan.
Says the cantor, “We will explore the origins of the niggun from its Hasidic roots in the 18th Century, to its adaptation by Shlomo Carlebach and others as contemporary expressions of Jewish outreach (including both live and recorded musical examples).”
Preregistration for the cantor’s series is required. To register, email iadpr@aol.com.
