Havdalah with Marni Loffman, Composer and Vocalist

On Fridays we usually post a musical welcome to Shabbat with a version of Shalom Aleichem, Lecha Dodi, or Adon Olam. But this week we're skipping to the end of Shabbat and continuing the series of Havdalah services that we started in 2017.

This version of Havdalah is by Marni Loffman, a composer, vocalist, educator, facilitator and ritualist. Marni's musical work weaves together the sounds of a multi-denominational Jewish American religious upbringing, of Ashkenazi ancestry, and of cultural influences growing up the United States such as American folk, pop, jazz and neo-soul. Marni's music explores diasporic identity, doubt, grief and healing through combining rabbinic and liturgical poetry and prose with original lyrics.

Shabbat shalom and Shavua Tov!
