We have decided to postpone Hava Nashira 2020 until the Fall and combine it with our fall music program: Shabbat Shira.

This year’s program will take place: Wednesday, October 28 – Sunday, November 1.

Rather than having two separate events this year we are excited to combine these programs into one bigger-than-ever-before Shabbat Shira!

Registered attendees: check your emails for more information.

Hava Nashira registration is opening next week! Be sure to secure your spot for this year's conference and enjoy learning about the best of Jewish music with a powerful community and 15 outstanding faculty members.

We have made an adjustment to the "typical" schedule to not overlap with Shavuot. While we will miss celebrating Shabbat together we are excited to have additional time for classes and learning during the conference.

Join us for one or more of our music programs throughout the year! Between Shabbat Shira, Machon Shira and Hava Nashira, we are sure to have a program to fit what you are looking for!

Save the dates now!

This past week, OSRUI was filled with voices and song as we were together for Hava Nashira. See some of the photos from this incredible week! You'll also find a link to register for Shabbat Shira, Oct.31 - Nov. 3.

The sound of voices raised in song and beautiful melodies filled the air last week, during Hava Nashira Songleading Workshop. Here are some photos to give you a taste of what participants experienced. Sign up for OSRUI’s next music program, Shabbat Shira, Oct. 31 – Nov. 3.

Dear Friends –
The faculties of Hava Nashira and Shabbat Shira, Jerry Kaye and Solly Kane, and the staff of Hava Nashira share our deep grief at the loss of our dear friend Angela Gold. While some of us may be with her family and dear friends in person next week or we send our love from afar, please know that we will find time to honor Angela when we are together in Oconomowoc in a few weeks. Until then, we hope that you find some sweetness this Shabbat and raise your voices in song.

In sorrow, Rosalie and Solly
