We Hold It All: Shacharit (morning service) Live from SLBC
Listen Now!
starting our morning, together
Shalom my friends! So grateful to bring you part two in our special pray-along series, live from Songleader Boot Camp. We’ve arrived at shacharit, the morning service. You’ll hear (and are invited to sing/feel/pray along with) an amazing band of artists, plus new melodies co-created by the incomparable Hannah Zale. What a blessing to start the day together!
How might t’fillah help us hold both the pain and beauty of the world at once?
