Elana Arian creates an intimate evening of song and story, beginning with Havdalah, at Congregation Beth El. Together we’ll sing, listen, laugh, thrill, and respond to Elana’s extraordinary voice and generous, beautiful sharing of soul as she invites us into her music. “One of the greatest Jewish voices of our time.” - Cantor Aviva Marer A composer, multi-instrumentalist and prayer leader, Elana Arian is one of the leading voices in contemporary Jewish music. Elana’s music is part of Jewish life across the globe, and her compositions are sung in spiritual communities, summer camps, and synagogues from Chicago to the Czech Republic. Elana has released four albums of original music, and her compositions have been published in countless Transcontinental Music collections. Elana serves proudly on the faculty of Hava Nashira (Oconomowoc, WI), the Wexner Heritage Foundation (Aspen, CO), Shirei Chagiga (London, England), and Hebrew Union College in New York, where she teaches in the Debbie Friedman School of Sacred Music. Elana has performed at Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, Tanglewood, and perhaps most memorably, five separate appearances at the (Obama) White House. She lives in the Hudson Valley with her wife, Julia, and their two daughters. To learn more about Elana and her music, visit elanaarian.com . Congregation Beth El of the Sudbury River Valley is joyful, participatory Judaism. We sing, learn, laugh, and pray together, and celebrate our varied backgrounds, identities, and experiences. We connect with Jewish values and traditions as we strive to create a more just future for ourselves, our children, and our world. To learn more about Congregation Beth El, visit bethelsudbury.org .
