Every year we celebrate the birthday of
Martin Luther King in a joint concert between our synagogue and Reverend Roger
Hambrick and his New York-based Green Pastures Baptist Church Choir. DC and New York, white and black, Jewish and Christian... we gather to honor the holiday for
this man who meant so much to all of us. This year, the choir was joined
by the legendary Neshama
Carlebach, daughter of the revered Sholmo Carlebach and a talent in her own
right.
It's a strange thing really - Orthodox Jews and Bronx Baptists dancing in the aisles singing Kivo Moed -- Now is the Time... quite remarkable. It's always moving - and no less so tonight -- just not much original to say about it. Just take a look and enjoy it for yourself.
Then stop over to this week's boomer blogging carnival. It's fun to read and I am really enjoying being part of it.
