Day 20 - Elul Challenge Day 20 - September 9/Elul 20 - Can Judaism exist without Song?
Singing and Jewish prayer are inextricably connected, and yet, we are in a time when singing in public can be dangerous to our health due to Covid-19. Can Judaism exist without song?

Today's Challenge - create a playlist of songs that fills you up - here's a start - a Rosh Hashanah Playlist - https://spoti.fi/3ibdq9u
Here's an article to read - 'Without music, would we even be Jewish?' "Women's singing is taboo and so is listening to music in a time of loss – but song is part of every celebration and occasion. Norman Lebrecht explores the history of music and Jews, from King David to Leonard Cohen"
