The Joy of Jewish Dance shares the incredible breadth of this ancient and modern dance form that spans the globe and history. From Yemenite, Sephardic, Ethiopian, Hasidic, Klezmer and Israeli Folk, Bruce illuminates gestures, stylings, steps and historical context with great care and knowledge.  Dances include traditional Yemenite, Sephardic, Ethiopian, Hassidic, Klezmer and the classic gems of Israeli folk dance.  Bruce will also share his creative movement practices with the Hebrew Letters that his teacher, the legendary Yiddish Theater choreographer, Felix Fibich--handed down to him.  No experience needed and all backgrounds welcome.

Renewal Siddur (Prayerbook)

A special addition to the KlezmerQuerque weekend! Our Renewal Shabbat is open to all.

We embrace prayer with an open heart. At our services we imbed the Torah's themes and bring them forward into our daily life. Each Shabbat we are guided through a visualization that is intended to aid in our spiritual practice and to get better acquainted with the text of our Torah. Prayers for Healing are always included as well as the Mourners Kaddish to remember those who came before us.

At each service we invite one member to share their story as a way of getting to know one another and to practice inclusivity. If you are interested in participating and are ready to set a Shabbat to share please contact Rabbi Carp. Our stories are very important, and we need to hear yours.
