Limmud Toronto 2016

This performance of original songs will explore Jewish stories of miracles, self-discovery, and transformation. A miracle is a transformative experience at the intersection of the holy & the mundane. “The Burning Bush” is a song about an extraordinary miracle, performed by God outside the rules of ordinary life, which serves as Moses’ call to destiny. “The Lake of Always” describes a natural miracle, performed by God within the rules of ordinary life, in which our role is to recognise the presence of holiness. “Foot Forward” chronicles Nachshon Ben Aminadav’s fearless march into the waters of the Red Sea, a participatory miracle initiated by God, but requiring human action to be fulfilled. “The Farm” tells the story of a transformative miracle, an expression of our free choice to transform bitter into sweet. “The Sound of Aleph” is about the connection between God’s presence without and within.
