Join us for a unique musical experience as we delve into the rich heritage of Jewish songs from Yemen. In this class, participants will have the opportunity to explore a diverse repertoire that includes both men's and women's singing traditions. The melodies presented will encompass a variety of themes, ranging from religious to secular, and will be sung in both Hebrew and Arabic.

All levels of singing and Hebrew/Arabic proficiency are welcome.
