TORAH STUDY SHABBAT: Jewish Rhythms from Baghdad to India, with Rahel Musleah
March 19, 2010: 6:15 pm-Shabbat Dinner by reservation only.
8:15 pm-Shabbat evening service with Saul M and Rebecca B. Silverstein Memorial Lecture by Rahel Musleah: "Jewish Calcutta through Music and Memory."
March 20, 2010: 10:00 am Shabbat Morning Service with Baghdadi chanting and D'var Torah by Rahel Musleah followed by Kiddush luncheon sponsored by Sisterhood and Brotherhood.
1:15 Rabbi Jeshaia and Hilde Schnitzer Memorial Lecture by Rahel Musleah: "Bombay & Kuchin Jewry."
8:00 pm Dessert Cabaret: Musical Program and Socializing
RAHEL MUSLEAH, award-winning journalist, singer, speaker, and educator, will take congregants and guests on a personal, historic, and musical journey to Jewish India. Born in Calcutta, the seventh generation of a Calcutta family that traces its roots to 17th century Baghdad, she will share the lyrical songs and distinctive customs of her community, complemented by personal anecdotes, memorabilia, and authentic photographs.
On Friday night, she will introduce the history, music and daily life of the Indian Jewish communities, and chronicle her own personal journey from India to America with candor, humor, and poignancy. Her program weaves a rich tapestry of heritage and culture little-known to most, and offers a compelling legacy of memory for the Indian Jewish communities whose population has dwindled to 5,000 today.
The Shabbat morning service will feature an intriguing medley of ancient texts and melodies, unusual tropes for Torah and Haftarah, and fascinating rituals, customs, and liturgy.
Ms. Musleah contributes regularly to Hadassah Magazine, Jewish Woman, and numerous other publications. She is the author of several books, including Apples and Pomegranates: A Family Seder for Rosh Hashanah. Her CD: Jewish Rhythms from Baghdad to India, was named one of the ten best CDs of 2004 by the New York Jewish Week. She lives in Great Neck, NY.
Please make your reservations by March 11!
I can't attend but I'd like to donate to this program.
