Ellen Atzilah Solot singing K'chu
T'rumah,
taken from the book of Exodus
(this might take a moment to load):
K'chu t'rumah kol n'div libo.
Bring your gifts, all you of generous heart!
We will sing this chant at our Friday night service on February 19, the
week of Parashat Terumah, the
Torah portion from which this chant is drawn. This chant allows us to
breathe deeply into our personal gifts - knowledge, insight, love,
listening - and offer them up to our community and our world.
