 t the Hebrew Center\n&nbsp\;\n\nYoni Avi Battat (he/him) brings Arab music
  into the soundscape of American Jewish life through composition\, educati
 on\, prayer\, and performance on viola\, violin\, oud\, and vocals. Descri
 bed as "an education for the ear and the soul\," his debut album Fragments
  seeks to find new pathways to connect with ancestry and find healing arou
 nd our fragmented identities. Yoni's newest project is Kedmah: The Rising 
 Song Piyyut Project\, which preserves and reimagines traditional repertoir
 e for Syria\, Iraq\, Jerusalem\, Turkey\, Yemen\, and Morocco. Their first
  album\, Simu Lev\, was released on Rising Song Records in Spring\, 2024. 
 From 2021-2022 Yoni toured nationally as an actor and violinist with the T

 can Jewish communities.\n\nYoni will preview some of the original and trad
 itional music for tonight's Kabbalat Shabbat service\, teaching the melodi
 es\, and sharing about their origins. As Yoni explains his journey into Ar
 ab musical traditions\, and the process of crafting this service\, partici
 pants will be invited to interact with this music more deeply and engage w
 ith the questions and challenges that arise from trying to make a complex 
 musical form accessible to a broader audience. Participants in this sessio
 n are invited to co-lead the service with Yoni\, sitting close to the cent
 er and participating actively.\n\n&nbsp\;\nRegister here
