Holy Song Concert with Tziona Achishena

Wednesday, August 31st

Bat Ayin Community Center

Women of all ages participated in abeautiful and inspiring evening of singing, dancing, and Torah during Midreshet B’erot Bat Ayin's end-of-summer concert featuring talented alumnae Tziona Achishena Zilbershtein, Devorah Gila Berkowitz, and Hadassah Lee. The concert opened with Hadassah singing songs she wrote over the last year while she was learning at B'erot. Devorah Gila followed with some very moving chants/songs played on guitar and drum.

Midreshet Berot Director Rebbetzin Chana Bracha Siegelbaum then spoke about the ability of our true inner essence to flow out of us through song, and how music has the capability to touch parts of our soul that are deep within us.

Tziona Achishena proceeded to lead us to great heights of simcha through guitar, drumming, responsive singing, and dancing. The room came alive when we all began circle and free dancing to the beautiful melodies that flowed out of each woman.

Yet even in the height of our joyous celebration, we reflected on our most recent sad events in Eretz Yisrael. At the end of the evening it truly felt like we had been able to bring a little more of HaShem’s kedusha down to our world through our joyous celebration as women. We may have some difficult things to deal with now as Am Yisrael, but we hope our fervent desire to attach ourselves to HaShem may have helped in the geulah.
