Song Leading is a skill, and one in which Debra Cohen has begun to learn as a Conservadox Jew. She shares the struggles of fitting into the mold with her overly animated gestures at the Bema. How much JOY should we then have on Shabbat? Didn't David dance with JOY? Why isn't it appropriate at Shabbat?
Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/story-and-song/message
Training to be a songleader is a transformational experience in leadership. In learning to become a music leader at The Bema, it is necessary to become less of self to make room for others to enter in, but, how much should the animated soul surrender of itself to make space for the congregation? And should the animations of the soul be tamed?
