“Lighting Our Way: A New Hanerot Hallalu”
Sunday, December 22 | 3:00 PM | Lutheran Church of the Good Shepherd | RSVP The event: Hazzan Dulkin will be participating in an upcoming concert with a local choir Kantorei, who will be singing a world premiere piece of music for Chanukah that was commissioned by Adath. The piece, entitled “Lighting Our Way: A New Hanerot Hallalu” was composed by Hazzan Dulkin’s colleague, teacher and friend Cantor Gerald Cohen, who has been chosen by Kantorei as this year’s Composer in Residence. Adath is partnering with Kantorei on the premiere and the commission of the new piece, which will be professionally recorded when Cantor Cohen is back in the Twin Cities in February. We will welcome Cantor Cohen to Adath for the Shabbat of Feb. 21-22 as a Scholar in Residence - stay tuned for more details. For more information, click here. For tickets, click here.

We invite the Adath community to be part of this historic new piece of music by making a contribution to the project. Think of it as a Hanukkah gift to our congregation! The piece, a fresh interpretation of Hanerot Hallalu called Lighting Our Way will have its World Premiere in December, where Hazzan Dulkin will perform along with Kantorei at their Winter concert, and will be professionally recorded in February.

soul sisters - a Feminist Beit Midrash
|
With Hazzan Joanna Dulkin
Many of us have heard, told and retold the tales of our fearless matriarchs. The Torah is full of women—but not all of them are recognized to the same level as their male counterparts. What's up with that? In our ongoing study of Biblical women through a feminist sense, we explore the stories behind the stories, examining both ancient and modern midrashim (commentary and stories) to pull Biblical women out of the shadows of the text and center them in the narrative. Through engaging discussion and sharing from our own lives, we strive to more fully understand these Biblical women, and ourselves. All genders welcome. Class is on a hiatus. Check back for information on a 2024-25 limited series. |
