Join us for a unique exploration of Barbra Streisand's 1962 recording of "Happy Days Are Here Again," a performance imbued with historical and cultural significance. Recorded in the aftermath of the Cuban Missile Crisis, Streisand's rendition transforms this American standard into a piece that resonates deeply with Jewish themes of hope, resilience, and reflection. This session offers a contemplative and communal space to appreciate how a classic American song can be transformed into a profound Jewish prayer of optimism and realism. Come ready to listen, reflect, and share as we discover the enduring power of Barbra Streisand's artistry.
