Sheltering
Faith: Sukkot for All
Synergy
A
celebration of humanity's transition from the limited
perspective of slavery to the freedom of individual
and community creativity and development, this ceremony—open
to all—recalls the forty-year wanderings of
the ancient Israelites under the leadership of Moses,
Aaron, and Joshua following their miraculous escape
from bondage in Egypt. The Sukkot, or booths, in
which the ancient Israelis found shelter during
their wanderings, are a contemporary reminder that
real security lies not in the physical structures
we build in the world, but in the spiritual protection
of a higher reality. This deeper meaning of the
Sukkot holiday is recalled through traditional and
contemporary compositions of classical Jewish music
and text performed by Synergy, a performance ensemble
of the Center for Jewish Culture and Creativity,
under the artistic direction of Vanessa Paloma.
Hosted by Adat Shalom. |
