Scholar in Residence weekend

Where Melody Meets Meaning

  Most people don’t realize that our Tefilah has a rich soundtrack hidden in plain sight — a centuries-old musical code called Nusach that tells us where we are in the Siddur, marks the date on the calendar, shapes the emotion of each prayer, and serves as a musical Peirush, carrying whispers of Midrash in its melodies.
   As Scholar-in-Residence, I open this hidden world over a Shabbos that blends meaningful Tefilah, live musical “aha” moments, and hands-on learning:
   · Lead inspiring Tefilos as a Shliach Tzibur.
   · Present “Informances” — part performance, part shiur — revealing how melodies guide us through the Siddur, interpret the words of Davening, deepen Kavannah, and help us more fully express ourselves to Hashem.
   · Facilitate Practical Tefilah Workshops so participants can confidently lead as Shliach Tzibur or follow along with greater awareness and insider knowledge.  Your community will leave with a deeper, multi-layered experience of Davening — where words and music illuminate each other in a way they’ll carry into every future Tefilah.
