   Shir Hamakom logo60's Boomer Shabbat
Shir Hamakom presents "Boomer Shabbat" on Friday, November 12th at 6pm in East Hartford, Connecticut
(465 Oak Street, East Hartford, CT 06118)

Everyone welcome, no RSVP necessary.  Come and experience the casual atmosphere, music and magic that Shir Hamakom is known for during this special service welcoming the Sabbath.

In the traditional Hebrew worship service, there is a flow to the act of inviting the Sabbath and letting go of the chaos and frenzy of the workweek.  This unique service captures the mood of each prayer in a popular song from the 60's and 70's, which we will sing.  Your "siddur" or service booklet is filled with English lyrics to the 18 songs that will become this service; favorites from James Taylor, Dylan, the Beatles, Bob Marley and many others.  

This special service is entirely in English, no Hebrew skills required.  We invite everyone to enjoy this fun music worship service.

Join Rabbi Elias Lieberman, Dr. Wendy Nelson and Pamela Rothstein from Falmouth, Massachusetts who conceived of this popular and song-filled worship experience.  Arnie Davidson, our worship leader, will accompany them on keyboards.  In the spirit of the evening, wear your casual 60's wear: beads, bellbottoms and patchoulli.  Most of all, come ready to sing and celebrate the arrival of Shabbat in a new way that will leave you singing for the rest of the week.

 Shir Hamakom is a Jewish music worship community based on song and celebration in Creater Hartford Connecticut. We were established in 2009 by a dozen families looking to rekindle their Jewish spirituality with community worship, music and learning that excites the mind and ignites the soul.  We blend the traditional with the new, always with music, capturing a vital new Jewish spirit.

Our focus is re-examining traditional Jewish prayer, using contemporary song and new music, often a blend of the original Hebrew with interpretive English lyrics.  If you  are familiar with the prayers, you'll feel energized and at home, if they are new to you, you'll feel welcome by our spirit and music.
