PDF of Chant Sheet

Dear En~Chanting Friends!

How grateful I Am to be chanting with you again this month! Please join me as we welcome Shabbat in the month of Shevat, with the perasha of Mishpatim, Ordinances, in Book of Exodus. 

With Hebrew chants from R. Shefa Gold, we’ll create a calming, uplifting and reflective experience as we gather ourselves from the week. 

We’ll chant together for our transformation, to heal our broken hearts, and awaken our compassion; to elevate our energy frequencies, get us in alignment with our inner Divinity, and affirm that when Love and Truth meet, justice and peace kiss! 

If you're able and feel called to join in person, we'll be starting at 6 PM - 7PM in Bayt Bracha, go thru the gate closest to main door, and enter the facing doors.

We will observe the candle lighting & blessing, healing prayers and mourners Kaddish, as well as Kiddush and hamotzi (challah) afterwards.

Have you wondered why we call organized prayer, “services”? We gather together in sacred space to “serve,” to do sacred work with and for each other.

The Shabbat morning “service” is not a random collection of prayers. It is a journey taking us both out of ourselves and into ourselves. Through prayer, chant, song, movement, and meditation, we will travel the path of the Jewish mystics to the sacred heart of Shabbat.

Queer Shabbat is a monthly ritual space for reflection, connection, grounding in the sacred cycles of Jewish time. This is a space for self-identified Queer Jews and their loved ones to gather. We will be hosting hybrid Queer Shabbat in Bayt B'racha IN-PERSON and also on ZOOM; Please come masked! Whether you are attending virtually or in person, you're invited to bring: songs, poetry, movement, creative activities, and meditations from your heart. Bring (vegetarian) food to eat yourself or to share while we chat after the service (some people may choose to unmask in order to eat together). Ritual items and challah welcome.
