Little Amal Workshop

Join us for a transformative workshop on September 12th at 5:30pm where Birds of a Feather Circle and Jews of Color Sanctuary guide you through a powerful reflection of Little Amal’s inspiring quest. We’ll craft a heartfelt niggun (Jewish melody) for her journey across the bridge. This very niggun will echo during Little Amal’s journey on September 22nd, infusing it with the power of unity.

Workshop with the theme of ‘Creating spaces for connection and acceptance – through melody, rhythm, and ritual.’ In this workshop, Birds of a Feather, a Cincinnati-based community building organization, will foster a safe and inclusive environment for individuals to explore the power of music, rhythm, and ritual in fostering connections and create a niggun (melody or Jewish tune) for Amal as she crosses the bridge. They bring their expertise in nature-based Jewish practices and encourage participants to co-create an intimate circle of trust and belonging. Through interactive activities such as group singing, drumming, and discussions, participants will have the opportunity to experience the unifying and healing potential of these practices. Additionally, ish’s collaboration with Jews of Color Sanctuary, a local organization dedicated to providing support for Jews of Color, will bring diverse cultural perspectives and insights to the workshop.

Thank you to Cincinnati Chamber Orchestra for bringing Little Amal to Cincinnati, and to our partners Nancy & David Wolf Holocaust & Humanity Center, Mayerson JCC, Birds of a Feather Circle, and Jew of Color Sanctuary.
