We’ll go over some of the songs, melodies and responses that we’ll use throughout services this year. With the High Holidays coming around once a year and often with different melodies and prayers, it’s hard for everyone to feel like they know what’s going on. That can make it harder to feel connected to the services and make them a meaningful experience. Our goal is to encourage greater participation in singing and praying during services.  We feel that services are great way for a community to bond when everyone can join in and feel like a part of something bigger. This is not a Hebrew lesson class, but a singing and melody class specific for the high holidays. We will pick about 6-10 songs and prayers from Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur to practice. The melody workshop will be conducted by Deborah Melkin () , a familiar service leader at the Vilna Shul on Friday nights. Deborah used to perform with Boston’s semi-professional a cappella group Honorable Menschen, and currently performs with the Zamir Chorale of Boston. We will pick about 6-10 songs and prayers from Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur to practice. There will be discounted parking available in the Cambridge Street garage. hoh 2007-08-26T23:00:01-06:00 http://www.vilnashul.com/calendar/event/tijuana-jews/ http://www.vilnashul.com/calendar/event/tijuana-jews/#When:00:00:00Z Throughout the early twentieth century thousands of European Jews sailed to Mexico looking for opportunity and escaping increasing persecution at home. A small group made their way north to the border town of Tijuana. Tijuana Jews, is a one-hour documentary and a personal exploration of this community that blended Jewish and Mexican cultures and customs in an unlikely place and time. Growing up Jewish in Mexico, director Isaac Artenstein found reactions of surprise, even disbelief, from many people north of the border: they had no idea there were Jews in Mexico, and especially in Tijuana. Tijuana’s dark legend continues to fire up the imagination with stories of free-flowing liquor, cheap narcotics, beautiful senoritas and black velvet paintings. “Tijuana Jews” is an authentic and living testimony set against conceptions and misconceptions of this near-mythic border city. bcjh 2007-08-24T00:00:00-06:00
