On Friday April 11 and Saturday April 12 PCS will welcome High Holiday Cantor Abbe Lyons who will lead the community through an uplifting, interactive, Shabbat- Before-Passover experience featuring old and new melodies, meditation, “kirtan” style chanting, and a pot-luck vegetarian dinner.
Don’t like to sing? Cantor Abbe has something special in store. The Torah portion for April 12 is the same one read again every year on Yom Kippur. Cantor Abbe will be leading everyone through a close reading of that important Torah portion (all study with English translation), and from everyone’s personal gleanings will result collaborative work of spoken “performance art” which PCS members – adults, teens, and middle-schoolers - will perform at the High Holiday services this fall. Cantor Lyons calls it “Speak-Chorus.”
Speak- Chorus Torah is a collaborative creative process leading to an amazing presentation that draws in all who listen, a communal sacred sound sculpture of story, poetry, and melody of voices. Through meditation, experiential study, song, poetry and discussion during this weekend, those that attend will begin to unpack, explore, and connect to the original Torah text on Yom Kippur. Consider continuing this exploration and being part of the group which will present our SpeakChorus Torah midrash during the morning Torah service on Yom Kippur. You don’t have to be a writer, scholar, singer or public speaker to be a holy midrash Teller.”
