đź’™ It is with great excitement and humility that we share our official five-year strategic plan. Check it out to learn:
🔎 The full scope of what Let My People Sing! really does and why
🎶 How we plan to reach 3x as many people
👀 What it will take to get there 

💡This plan was born from years of feedback and conversations with our community. But it can’t happen without increased financial support. Simply put: We need to raise $150,000 than we did last year.

🌱 That’s why our 2nd annual peer-to-peer fundraising drive, The R’vaya Resource Drive, is more important than ever. Together we’re working to raise $50,000 before the end of the Hebrew month of Iyar, on May 17.

🌊 R’vaya comes from a phrase in Psalm 23 - kosi r’vaya, “my cup overflows,” and speaks to the incredible abundance in our community.

We are so excited for what we will build together! Support the drive using the link in our bio!

With gratitude,
Batya, Margot and Serena

❤️‍🩹 For the past three months, the Twin Cities have been a testing ground for the rise of fascism through Operation Metro Surge, the largest immigration enforcement operation in U.S. history. From intricate mutual aid systems, to utilizing singing as a form of resistance, to highly effective rapid response networks, and so much more, neighbors have shown up in droves to support neighbors targeted by the operation.

🌀 Join voices on the ground in Minneapolis for an afternoon of song, stories and skills to strengthen our collective capacity to respond to these times. We’ll be grounding in song and sharing lessons learned along the way. Featuring Ricardo Levins Morales, R. Jessica Rosenberg, Margot Seigle, Bex Klafter, Miri Villerius, Kestrel Feiner-Homer, and Kohenet Riv Shapiro. Link in bio to register!

⏳The Omer offers a holy and sweet structure for creative practice, reflection, and spiritual nourishment. Join Molly Bajgot and Aly Halpert during the seven week period between Passover and Shavuot, for a weekly practice of singing, exploring the sephira* of the week, and connecting these themes to our own lives.

🌀We’ll get in touch with the creative spark of the Divine in ourselves by making time for creation – journaling, writing songs, doodling, making art, dancing, etc. – with the support of online community. Come to all seven sessions as part of an Omer practice, or join when you can! Link bio to register!

➡️ Sliding Scale $ 150-360+ (No one turned away for lack of funds**) Recordings will be available to participants. Live Captioning available upon request by Monday, March 23rd.

*Sephira/Sephirot are gd-like qualities applied to the 7 weeks of the omer (i.e. lovingkindness, boundaries, harmony, etc.)
**No one turned away for lack of funds. Please email info@letmypeoplesing.org for a discount code if cost is a barrier for you.

Dear community,

This year, over 600 people put their names in for just 200 summer retreat spots. While we are thrilled that so many people want to partake, we are deeply saddened year after year that we have to turn away so many in our beloved community from the nourishment of song, spirit and community. 

And so, last year we decided: No more. We need to grow our offerings to meet the demand so that more people can sing with us, learn together, and support one another through such devastating times. 

After a year of community input, cycles of draft plans, and feedback we are so excited to reveal to you our plan for the next five years of Let My People Sing!

Together, we’ve set bold goals for the future of Jewish song:
• Nourish three times as many people by 2030 through larger and more frequent in-person offerings
• Strengthen song culture in dozens of existing Jewish communities across the country
• Expand the mainstream canon of Jewish song to include more Jewish lineages and new music

As wise community members have shared, singing together is how our ancestors resourced themselves through unspeakable pain and through the depths of the unknown. We need more space to strengthen our collective capacity to weather the storm - to metabolize the pains and joys of the moment, together. 

Join us to learn how we plan to widen our breadth, while maintaining the same quality of care and commitment to each other. Link in bio to register and learn more (recording will be sent to those who register and can’t join us live). 

With excitement,
Batya, Margot and Serena

There’s something steadying about Jewish time.

Regardless of the headlines, the calendar turns. The holidays arrive. We gather. We tell the stories. We count the days.

This season places us back in that rhythm, as the frost thaws, and the Spring holidays approach.

Through two Let My People Sing courses, we’ll mark this season together: engaging the themes of liberation for Pesah and the quiet work of the Omer, and grounding ourselves in song that speaks to this moment as it is. Join us for:
• Sephardi and Mizraḥi Pesaḥ Songs with Galeet Dardashti
• Be Like G!d! Singing and Creating Through the Omer with Molly Bajgot and Aly Halpert

🎶Join Batya Levine for this 3-part introductory series, where we will learn some of the standard Ashkenazi liturgy and melodies that are woven into the Friday night Shabbos table experience. Jewish home-based ritual provides an opportunity for friends and family to co-create ritual and song together, outside of institutional walls. Through the well worn practices of our ancestors, Friday night can be a time of deep connection with the Divine and with our people. Come learn traditional Ashkenazi liturgy and melodies to enliven and warm your Shabbos table. Link in bio to register!
