Water Over Rocks - Rabbi Andy Bachmna's blog
One of the new scenes in Jerusalem on Shabbat is the "emerging prayer and study" community known as Nava Tehila, led by Rabbi Ruth Gan Kagan. Musical, meditative, and totally open to varieties of Jewish spiritual expression in real time, Nava Tehila is a bit like an alternative universe here--musicians create an ambient feel, rooted in Middle Eastern and Indian spiritual mantras as well as their own contemporary Israeli musical tastes. Besides a Friday night service once a month, the group hosts a pre-Shabbat community sing-a-long which we took the Fellows to before they went off to their separate shuls on Friday.
