Special Shabbat Zimrah

Shabbat Zimrah brings the mystical sounds of Arab Jewry to the TBZ sanctuary. Co-led by Artist-in-Residence Yoni Battat on the oud, this service will utilize traditional and original melodies to chant excerpts from Shir Hashirim and the psalms of Kabalat Shabbat, followed by Ma’ariv. (Reading Song of Songs is a Mizrahi Friday night tradition practiced year round – not just on Shabbat Shira!)

On Thursday night before each service, join Yoni in person or online for Hazmanah L’Zimrah (Invitation to Song), where Yoni will teach these melodies and about the musical traditions that they come from.
