Torah Explorer

Melodies/nusach and songs for Shacharit that I've created over the past six years while in Rabbinical School. Many were created for the tefillah group I co-created, Super Sonic Tefillah.

     In this group, we explored prayer in all its sonic glory from the ra’ash gadol (big noise) to the kol d’mama daka (still small voice), following the experience of the vibrations of prayer words, prayer tones, and prayer thoughts as they move from page to mouth to heart.

     Sonic can mean poetry, rhythm, music, discord. We focused on these elements in both traditional and experimental ways to connect with ourselves, with each other, with God, the room, the space, and the moment.
