The Pursuit of Harmony
Sermon
& Song at Congregation Micah
6 p.m., Friday, May 8
Can a Jewish American and Palestinian Muslim find a common bond through
music?
Join celebrated Jewish American songwriter/producer Michael Hunter Ochs
and noted Palestinian songwriter/commentator Alaa Alshaham for an intimate
evening of song and conversation at Congregation Micah for Shabbat Service at 6
p.m. on Friday, May 8. You will be inspired as these two improbable friends
retrace their steps through the security checkpoints between Israel and the
West Bank, across the Middle East – eventually finding themselves performing
together at the United Nations.
Michael and Alaa will sing Michael’s liturgical music – in English,
Hebrew, and Arabic - as well as songs with spiritual overtones that they wrote
together. Using video and musical accompaniment, Michael and Alaa will share
some of their songs and what they learned traveling together throughout the
Middle East to Israel and the West Bank. They will discuss how their friendship
endured through the recent conflict in Gaza.
The personal stories, stunning photographs and exclusive video
accompanying the music will sweep you into this incredible experience. Hear the
story, hear the songs...and feel the hope. For more information, visit: www.thepursuitofharmony.com
