#SecondSaturday: A Chanting Service for Repro Shabbat

  • Temple Hillel B'nai Torah 120 Corey Street West Roxbury MA 02126 (map)

Saturday, February 14 10:00 – 12:30

This #SecondSaturday is a chanting service led by Tracy Rich and Rabbi Aliza, where repetition and melody create space for presence. It’s also Repro Shabbat, a moment that invites us to hold prayer, community, and care for one another together.
 
Open to everyone who wishes to experience the beauty of Shabbat and community. We look forward to sharing this special time with you!

For security purposes, HBT kindly asks everyone to RSVP for any program you plan to attend.Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.

This chanting service uses repetition and melody to create space for presence, listening, and communal prayer. The liturgy will be familiar, and there is no expectation to sing perfectly or continuously — the invitation is simply to be present.

If you’re curious what this kind of prayer can hold, we recently posted a recording from Shabbat Shirah with Aly Halpert. While a recording can only offer a glimpse, it may be helpful for those new to chanting or musical davening.
