Melton: Naomi Shemer: Beyond “Jerusalem of Gold” with Cantor David Lipp

This is a special, one-session class offered on Zoom. The cost for the class is $18.

Israeli music owes a lot to the artist Naomi Shemer. In many ways, Shemer helped define the tone and trajectory of Israeli popular music. For example, the genre Shirei Eretz Yisrael (Songs of the Land of Israel) would be far poorer without this sui generis singer/song-writer. In this moving follow up to Cantor David Lipp’s hit course “Israeli Pop Jamz”, we get an overview of her lasting influence and legacy on the corpus of Israeli artistic expression. Join us for a rockin’ good class!

Cantor David A. Lipp came to Congregation Adath Jeshurun as Hazzan in 1994. He currently leads worship services, prepares youth for bar and bat mitzvah, teaches synagogue skills to children and adults, co-officiates at all life-cycle events, does pastoral work and directs the Adath Jeshurun Adult Choir. Cantor Lipp teaches Melton courses in his community in Louisville as well as internationally and has taught numerous international courses for the Cantors Assembly. Cantor Lipp has recently completed his service as President of the Cantors Assembly.
