Shir Shabbat Service

Together we’ll share a Shabbat filled with song, sustenance, and connection.

Friday, Nov. 6: Shir Shabbat with Duo Andalus

CRC Artist in Residence: Duo Andalus

Our November Shir Shabbat welcomes vocalist Lala Tamar and guitarist and multi-instrumentalist Ofer Ronen of Duo Andalus, who will join Rabbi Daniel and the CRC House Band. Their music brings together Andalusian, Sephardic and Middle Eastern traditions, sung in Darija (Moroccan Arabic), Spanish, Amazigh and Hebrew. Lala is the first artist to record a contemporary album in Haquetia, the dialect of the Jews of northern Morocco, and made her Lincoln Center debut in 2023. Ofer is a flamenco guitarist and arranger based in Barcelona who studied traditional flamenco in Seville.

The residency also includes Duo Andalus in concert at Joe’s Café on Thursday, Nov. 5 (doors 6:00 pm, show 7:00 pm; $36 suggested donation, give more if you can or as little as $18) and an afternoon learning session with the artists on Friday, Nov. 6, open to the community.

Stay after for a potluck dinner. Bring a dish to share. Please RSVP using the form at the bottom of this page so we can plan.

Join us each month for Shir Shabbat, a truly transportive musical Shabbat service where rich, expanded music and joyful song create a space for celebration, devotion, and shared spirit. Let the uplifting sounds of the CRC House Band and special musical guests lift your soul, draw us together as a community, and open our hearts to the beauty of Shabbat.
