Have you wondered why we call organized prayer, “services”? We gather together in sacred space to “serve,” to do sacred work with and for each other.
The Shabbat morning “service” is not a random collection of prayers. It is a journey taking us both out of ourselves and into ourselves. Through prayer, chant, song, movement, and meditation, we will travel the path of the Jewish mystics to the sacred heart of Shabbat.
Many of you have seen the ongoing mural/installation project in the gallery that the art committee has been working on. It is intended to be a river timeline of Nahalat Shalom’s history onto which members can place photographs, written recollections, objects, etc. which recall community and family Nahalat Shalom-related events.
We’ve scheduled a gathering and Havdalah for April 26 at which we can listen to and celebrate Nahalat Shalom’s history, stories of your family’s Nahalat Shalom events, and also take time to enjoy and celebrate this project. Please bring stories, photographs, general recollections-whatever-along with finger food type vegetarian munchies. It was great fun when we did some of this at the annual meeting. We intend to keep the fun ongoing.
The mural will need to come down in May temporarily so that other artwork can be exhibited during the Sephardic festival. The mural and all its parts will be saved for re-installation in July, so come share some stories, bring some photos to scan and place post-its on the timeline that have meaning to you. Let’s enjoy and celebrate this phase of the River Timeline looking forward to the final phase of the River Timeline that will begin in July.

West African dance is multi-layered, engaging every part of the body. But no need to be intimidated; you take on as many of those layers according to your comfort level. The physicality of the dance, so different from how we generally move, and the singing of the drums, invite you to release whatever emotions you might've been feeling earlier in the day, or what you are feeling in the moment. It's about moving from your core and from your heart. Most importantly, it's about supporting each other in learning a different kind of dance form, and building community.
The first six-week session: Monday nights March 24 - May 12, 6-715pm. Requested donation of minimum $8 per class or $44 up front for all six which pays the drummers. Call, text or email if you have questions. 505-967-8208. Hope to see you at our next class, Monday April 28!
Spring has sprung, so let’s enjoy the weather as we circle up for a night of nigunim at Nahalat Shalom, hosted by community member Adam Horowitz. A nigun (meaning "melody" in Hebrew) is a wordless tune, sung in repetition and with devotion, to stir the soul and take us where words cannot. Drawing from the wellspring of Jewish mystical tradition, we'll sing nigunim new and old. No prior experience required! If there are nigunim that you know and would enjoy sharing, please feel free to bring and to teach!

Join Cantor Beth Cohen as she leads a pre-concert Shabbat at Fusion Theater to open up the concert!
Then enjoy the magical music of Nefesh Mountain, a group that blurs the lines between Americana, Bluegrass, Folk, Jazz and Blues with a masterful hand as songwriters, instrumentalists and composers alike.
The latest album from Nefesh Mountain, Beacons emerged from a bold and wholehearted attempt to transform the world around them. Co-founders Doni Zasloff and Eric Lindberg immersed themselves in the feverish writing of songs that turned their frustrations and fears into irrepressible hope, all while reaching far beyond their bluegrass roots and forging a fiercely joyful sound unbound by genre convention. Although much of the album stemmed from their rumination on the political landscape (political polarization and division throughout the U.S., the Israel–Hamas War, and Russo-Ukrainian Wars), its spirit of purposeful optimism is made all the more potent by Nefesh Mountain's willingness to speak about their most intimate struggles and triumphs, including the birth of their now-three-year-old "miracle baby" Willow, and Zasloff's journey with sobriety. "This is definitely the most revealing and personal album we've ever made, which was a big leap for us," says Zasloff.

West African dance is multi-layered, engaging every part of the body. But no need to be intimidated; you take on as many of those layers according to your comfort level. The physicality of the dance, so different from how we generally move, and the singing of the drums, invite you to release whatever emotions you might've been feeling earlier in the day, or what you are feeling in the moment. It's about moving from your core and from your heart. Most importantly, it's about supporting each other in learning a different kind of dance form, and building community.
The first six-week session: Monday nights March 24 - May 12, 6-715pm. Requested donation of minimum $8 per class or $44 up front for all six which pays the drummers. Call, text or email if you have questions. 505-967-8208. Hope to see you at our next class, Monday April 7!
(Due to scheduling conflicts, this group will be meeting at an alternate location.)

The service will be contemplative as we take time to enter the liturgy through chant, then pause in the silence long enough to allow for an unfolding of possibilities and to develop the skillful practice that allows for Shabbat consciousness to flourish.
