Shabbat Shira

Temple Solel has announced the theme for the upcoming Shabbat Shira to be held on February 21, 2020 at Temple Solel. The “Coming Home” theme refers to the reunion of teens who haven’t seen one another for some time.  It also refers to the familiarity of the prayers, music, and traditions, suggesting that it does not necessarily have to be a particular place, but rather the feeling of belonging and of being welcomed.

In terms of the music, the service will incorporate songs that the teens include in their NFTY (National Federation of Temple Youth) services as well as familiar songs of the congregation.  Being a teen project, the teens will also participate in leading the service.  They will provide different readings and transitions throughout the service while Ben Siamon will deliver the D’var Torah along with Rabbi Langowitz.  The teens will also participate in the music and at the end of the service, all of the members from NFTY will be invited to come up and participate in a closing song.
