Fascinating (and free!) program tonight to Hesed — all are welcome!

📖🎶 JOIN US TONIGHT for the Klezmer & Kabbalah Lecture in Scranton.

NEPA Philharmonic violinist Sasha Margolis and Rabbi Daniel Swartz of Temple Hesed lead an illuminating discussion exploring the intersection of klezmer music and Jewish mysticism.

From the surprising history of klezmer to the mysteries of Kabbalah and the sefirot, the program connects tradition, meaning, and creativity, followed by a moderated Q&A. 💬
