How has music expressed both power and joy, suffering and loss, throughout the narrative of the Jewish people? Where do we see our own experiences embedded within these stories? In this text-based class, we’ll explore two key Biblical narratives centering the outpouring of song – building out our own continued stories of powerful prayer from within.
