Let My People Sing! is building a listening tour project called Songs for the Soul: LMPS Programming by and for JOC, where discussion groups and affinity spaces led by JoC clergy and song leaders will develop musical curriculum. Virtual planning and co-design sessions will bring together JoC project collaborators to clarify and develop program content. Project Collaborators will offer programming that includes cultural-specific learning spaces specifically for Jews of Color, JoC programming at in-person regional gatherings of JoC, and a JoC caucus space at the 4-day Let My People Sing! in-person retreat. Through this effort, “Songs for the Soul” will support JoC in their faith practices within BIPOC spaces.
Songs for the Soul is an affinity space for Jews of Color to explore the intersections of their ancestral lineages through song. This workshop, facilitated by Rabbi Dr. Koach Baruch Frazier and Maggid Marques Hollie, will creatively engage with the psalms of Kabbalat Shabbat by connecting with our ancestral lineages to create rooted, personal niggunim and songs.
