Hallel v’Zimrah

This two-day conference – preceded by a Shabbaton – will bring together leading scholars, prayer leaders, and musicians to explore and reflect upon the rich and complex Jewish conversation among music, liturgy, and ritual.

Music and liturgy hold a rich and often complex relationship in Jewish life.  Each seeks to reflect the values and needs of contemporary Jewish religious communities.  Each relies on the other to deepen its own connection to ideas of tradition.  Each has developed its own specialists and fields of study.   And each stands at the center of debates about enriching the Jewish present and assuring the Jewish future.

The conference, with a mix of panel discussions, workshops, master classes, and other sessions intended to appeal both to professionals in the field and to interested non-professionals, will be held at two locations in Hyde Park.  It will begin on Sunday morning, at Swift Hall on the University of Chicago campus, 1025 East 58th Street, Chicago, IL 60637, running that day from 10:00 a.m. to about 6:15 p.m.  On Monday, we will be at Congregation Rodfei Zedek, 5200 South Hyde Park Boulevard, Chicago, IL 60615, beginning at 9:00 a.m. and ending at about 4:30 p.m.  We will also be offering a concert Sunday evening, at KAM Isaiah Israel, 1100 East Hyde Park Boulevard, Chicago, IL 60615, beginning at 8:00 p.m.  Kosher box lunches (and snacks, but no other meals) will be provided on both days.
