Shira Events
Lunch @ Shira
30/05/10 22:39
On June 12th, we will be holding a communal kiddush-lunch to honour 2 international guests who are in town for Limmud Oz. The Dvar Torah will be given by Rabbi Danny Landes, Rav of Pardes. During lunch, Amichai Lau-Lavie will run an interactive 'Storahtelling' workshop. Rooted in biblical text and ritual practice, storahtelling uses dramatized interpretations, storytelling, chanting and song to bring the Bible off the page, and onto the global stage. This is an oportunity NOT to be missed. The kiddush-lunch cost is $20 for adults — kids under Bar/Bat Mitzvah are free of charge. Please click here to book via PayPal. Please book ASAP to help us organise catering.
