Merging Jewish devotional chants from across the Sefaradi world (Jewish culture with roots on the Iberian peninsula) with the South Asian tradition of Kirtan, the group tonight, led by Rabbi Haim Ovadia who was born in Jerusalem to an Iraqi family, will reach for spiritual heights at this communal performance. Expect both performance and engagement to fill the soul.

This participatory concert will blur the lines between audience and performers, as the musical energy is shared by the voices and bodies of all who are present.

Featuring Rabbi Haim Ovadia (Magen David Congregation), Dan Nadel (flamenco guitar, music direction) Arun Ramamurthy (violin), Rohan Prabhudesai (harmonium), and Ehren Hansen (tabla)

The Sacred Music Series is a partnership between B'nai Israel Congregation and Creative Alliance
