Last Friday night, as we sat together eating Shabbat dinner, Evan started singing a gospel song, My Grandmother's Hands. A few of us joined in, adding harmony and vocal rhythms, baselines and beatboxing. Then, in a turn nobody quite expected, the song somehow flowed seamlessly into No Diggity. Then Orin jumps in, layering the traditional Hebrew Shabbat song Dror Yikra, into No Diggity. Our singing continued to build, weaving and layering gospel, beatboxing, hip hop freestyling, and Hebrew and Aramaic odes. This is kind of song that our house community makes for Shabbat.
with love and thanks to the Moishe House Community for making these beautiful creative moments possible
