Join musician Zach Mayer as he explains the history and significance of Nigunim (wordless melodies from the Hasidic tradition) and talk about how they are sung today by different groups, individuals, and congregations. He will teach a traditional nigun followed by an original melody of his own composition, and explain which elements of the melody are rooted in tradition, and which elements are new.
