Music sessions abounded throughout the other workshops on Jewish life, education, technology, and more as well as conference-wide plenary sessions. Included among them were Kosher Style artists Ellie Flier, Josh Goldberg, Lucy Greenbaum, and Charlie Kramer, who all had featured performances in the music sessions.
A new L’cha Dodi, performed at the URJ Biennial on December 11, 2019 at the Emerging Artists Music Lab.Music and lyrics by Ellie Flier, Julia Motis, Jacob Ruden, and Sarah Ruden. About the song:I love Shabbat, and I love Friday night services, and I love when we get to officially welcome in Shabbat with L’Cha Dodi. It’s a beautiful poem in Hebrew, but for me it’s the music that really makes it special.But I decided that I wanted to write a new kind of L’cha Dodi, one that described the feeling I get when I sing L’cha Dodi.Video recorded via Facebook Live by Susan Shane LinderOther singers (left to right):Rabbi Noam Katz, Beth Hamon – Music, Jackson Vance Mercer, Rob Aronson, Rory Michelle Sullivan, Sue Radner Horowitz#jewishmusic #urjbiennial #newjewishmusic #musiclab #jewishnashville
