Albuquerque Folk Festival First Sunday Sing-Along meets  on the first Sunday of EVERY month from 4-6pm in Beit B’racha.
We go around the circle, each person picking a song from Rise Up Singing or Rise Again Songbook (we have several).

 We sing songs of hope and peace.  And some songs of uncertainty and concern for our friends and fellow human beings. And love songs. And songs just for fun.  You pick the songs. We’ll all sing together.

June 1st 2025 for Shavuot: A First Annual Meeting of Humanity (not just numbers)

We celebrate the giving of our Torah at Mt Sinai, the first harvest, and firsts of repairs (Tikkun). This year we want to open up this holiday to our greater spiritual community. Over dinner, some of NS finest will introduce and guide us through Shavuot. Our guests will be invited to join in, and welcome their
wisdom informed by their studies. We will offer them shmi'ah shelanu (our hearing) and l'ibenu (our hearts).

We are also welcoming our new Rabbi Intern, Josie Felt, who will be joining Nahalat Shalom's finest, so we may all meet her and that she will be able to meet our greater spiritual community. We hope she can count on you along her journey, as a source of wisdom and someone she can count on for guidance with the local community.

Dance with Rikud and enjoy the lively sounds of Beth Cohen and the Nahalat Shalom Klezmer Band, as they bring festive Klezmer music to set the tone for a memorable Shavuot gathering at B’nai Israel. This performance is generously sponsored by Sharon Levin of Gourmet to Go and Vicky Camerlingo of Vicky’s Beauty Salon.This performance is generously sponsored by Sharon Levin of Gourmet to Go and Vicky Camerlingo of Vicky’s Beauty Salon.

Come enjoy this joyful evening as B’nai Israel kicks off Shavuot with our first-ever Shavuot BBQ! Bring your appetite and your spirit of celebration as we gather for an evening of delicious food, live music, dancing and great company.

On the Menu:
We’re firing up the grill with beef, turkey, and veggie burgers; hotdogs; and classic sides like green salad, potato salad, and coleslaw. For dessert, enjoy fresh fruit and cake. Wheat and ale beers will also be available.

Tikkun Leil Shavuot—learning and reflection after dinner. More details coming soon.

Let’s welcome the holiday together with tradition, music, dance and community!

The weather is warm, so let’s enjoy our time together out in the beautiful Nahalat Shalom courtyard, as we circle up for a night of  nigunim at Nahalat  Shalom that is 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!
