Not a joke.
This Shabbat, we will be joined once again by Rabbi Micah Lapidus and his ensemble for the latest Southern Soul Shabbat. Even if you’ve been before, you might not know that one of the vocalists, Melvin Myles, is also a soloist at historic Ebenezer Baptist Church. Years ago, Rabbi Micah and Melvin struck up a friendship and have been making spiritually uplifting music and prayers drawn from faith and the shared roots of the south.
If you’ve been to Southern Soul Shabbat before, then you know how these melodies and prayers will hit you right in the heart and soul. You’ll be clapping your hands, stomping your feet, and will be disappointed when it’s over too fast.
When you join us this Friday night, you’ll be praying the words of our ancestors set to all original melodies composed by Rabbi Micah. This Shabbat is a combination of the soul of the south with the words and wisdom of Judaism.
This musical and spiritual treat only comes around a handful of times in the year. Don’t miss out on something truly uplifting and soul-reaching.
