Notes from Cantor Avima

Last Shabbat at Kiddush, Cantor Avima shared a beautiful spiritual practice- chanting.  Singing a phrase from Tehillim (Psalms) or the Siddur (prayerbook) over and over makes for a meditative experience where you enter into the words and melody.  Chanting energizes and focuses the mind in a uplifting way.  And best of all, it's a shared experience where the voices combine and build.  Beautiful!  You can hear some chants and hear about the practice of chanting in this video by Rabbi Shefa Gold.  We look forward to more wonderful spiritual musical teachings from Cantor Avima!
