[Jewish] Smith Hillel hosting Jewish Multiculturalist Loolwa Khazzoom Oct. 26-27th]

[Steven Nathan]

Loolwa Khazzoom pioneered the Jewish Multiculturalism movement in 1990s. Her work has radically transformed thinking about diversity and Jewish identity, shifting from a limited European Jewish paradigm to one that reflects the racial, ethnic, and cultural diversity of the global Jewish experience. 

At Smith, Loolwa will be leading a participatory music workshop. She will introduce ancient Jewish songs and prayers from the Middle East and North Africa sung in Hebrew, Aramaic and Judeo-Arabic. Some basic Middle Eastern/North African drumming rhythms will be covered as well. There will be transliteration; no previous singing experience or knowledge of aforementioned mentioned languages necessary. 

Please join Loolwa and Smith Hillel on Saturday, October 27 from 3-5pm at the Helen Hills Hills Chapel for an afternoon of singing!

"The more deeply immersed I became in the thinking of the prophets, the 
more powerfully it became clear to me what the lives of the prophets 
sought to convey: that morally speaking there is no limit to the concern 
one must feel for the suffering of human beings. It also became clear to 
me that in regard to cruelties committed in the name of a free society, 
some are guilty, all are responsible."

-Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel
