Rabbi Dan and Jeremiah Lockwood will provide an opportunity to tap into the central theme of this season, with experimental sounds, forgotten practices and traditional prayer -- tuning into the light and the wonder stories of this festival.

We commemorate the Maccabees cleaning out the waste that had clogged up their temples, and all of the things that blocked prayer from their lives, by washing away the false gifts that fill our own lives.

Join us in this interactive healing -- through melody, meditation and incantation. 

Along with Rabbi Dan and Jeremiah will be special guest, Jewlia Eisenberg (leader of the band Charming Hostess) and co-leader of this past summer's singing workshop - Sound, Song and Symbol.

This is a continuation of Rabbi Dan and Jeremiah Lockwood's re-imagining Jewish "holy days."  This exploration began six years ago with the High Holidays and was expanded this year to include Lament: The Ninth Av at Green-Wood Cemetery, Erev Rosh Hashanah at Nublu Classic, and the Hannukah Sound Revival at BAX.

Evening will include: Candlelighting, Breathing and Meditation, Listening, Singing, Atoning, Praising, Healing, Mingling, Noshing

This is an adult event.
