Chava is one of the leading lights in North American Jewish Music, known for her beautiful, soulful voice and haunting compositions. Daniel is a multi-award-winning songwriter and musical storyteller and Limmud favourite. During lockdown they have been remotely collaborating for an album that will be released later this year: Daniel in the UK, Chava in Seattle (where she is also the Artist in Resident at Temple de Hirsh Sinai). Hear them preview some of this material as they trade their songs and perform some unusual Zoom duets. This should be a lovely concert with stereo high fidelity sound and the perfect way to end your Limmud day.

By reading this text, we will explore how Aggadah (tales and stories) are crucial to how we understand ourselves as Jews searching for meaning and belonging in this world.
