Let's learn a new Ahavah Rabbah in the Freygish musical mode/scale. Hear an interpretation and explanation of the meaning and power of the mode and the uses of the mode in Jewish liturgy. We will also cover several other tunes that use this musical scale, including original Jewish liturgical compositions and niggunim (wordless melodies).
We will listen, learn, and make music using our voices. We will consider the use and power of music throughout history to the present day, in times of unity and times of dissolution. A willingness to sing is preferred, but no musical experience necessary!
