  Shabbat Service led by Cantor Hasha Perman
  April 28, 10:00 am - 12:00 pm
  Unitarian Universalist Church of Arlington

  Join us for a spiritually stimulating and eclectic mix of music, prayer, meditation, and Torah study led by guest Cantor Hasha Musha Perman. Many of you will fondly remember Hasha Musha from a year ago, when she led a well-received service and study session. In her words, “Holiness is a gentle journey into prayer that leads us to honesty and caring, for ourselves and for others. I’m looking forward to sharing Shabbat with Kol Ami.”

  The service will be followed by a Torah study session in the Youth Lounge (where we’ll celebrate Kiddush – please bring a dairy vegetarian dish to share).

  Hasha Musha Perman is a dynamic innovator in Jewish music and prayer. She has been the cantor and music director of Congregation Beth Shalom in Naperville, IL for over twenty years. She founded Hasha Musha & The Kiev Klezmers in Chicago, a “glorious” mix of outstanding musicians. She co-founded Minyan HaShira, the Singing Minyan. She created the Sacred Drumming Circle, a joyous Kabbalat Shabbat experience with drums and percussion, chant, meditation, prayers, and rhythm. Her one-woman show, “More Than Chicken Soup,” toured the US with a Klezmer trio. Hasha is a graduate of the Institute for Jewish Spirituality Leadership Training for Cantors, and continues to be a teacher to students of all ages. We’ll be in the Chapel.
