Music is at the core of our human experience. In fact, some scientists posit that song predated speech. Because of its primal nature, music is one of the most powerful mediums of expression. How do we as individuals, communities and cultures use it for good and for ill? How do we utilize song to positively wield power and when is it used to coerce, ignite violence and predate? How does intention play into this?

 

Join Rav Chazzan Michael McCloskey as we explore this theme from Nahman of Bratslav to the descendants of Cain, from Daniel Levitin to Scooter Braun to Taylor Swift, from Greek mythology to King David.
