The Shir Joy Project takes inspiration from a variety of Jewish tunes and revamps them in a way that is relevant to today’s modern, urban Jew. 10 young musicians were given the task of recreating 5 jewish songs in 1 month.
Tumbalalaika is a Russian Jewish folk song written in Yiddish. The song is about a young man who falls in love with a woman when she proves her cleverness by answering his riddles correctly.
The Temple Emmanu-El-Beth Sholom is the oldest “Liberal” or “Reform” synagogue in Canada dating back to 1883. It’s also the only Reform congregation in Quebec.
