Thanks to the Hebrew College Innovation Lab, Rabbi Lev Friedman, Rab`19 will bring his voice and passion to Hebrew College as the leader of a new monthly alternative Shabbat community that will meet in the Hebrew College Beit Midrash. The prayer group, called Azamra, gets its name from Psalm 146:2 “Azamra l’Elohai b’ohdi, I will sing praises to my God while I exist.”

Rabbi Friedman will lead Azamra with guitar and joyful singing of niggunim, chants and liturgy, as well as meditation, davening, storytelling, poetry, and teachings that will enliven and deepen the Shabbat experience. Each service will be followed by a pot-luck vegetarian kiddush luncheon.
