Calling all singers! Please join Cantor Kochava and the Greater New Haven community to participate in a monthly niggun circle. Niggunim are soulful, wordless melodies which can be used to enhance spiritual reflection and communal connection. We will be meeting on the last Wednesday of each month from 7-8pm. We will alternate between Congregation B’nai Jacob and BEKI, with the first session at CBJ. If you would like to be on the email list, please email Cantor Kochava at cantorkochava@bnaijacob.org. -
