A song, between Menorah and Chofar
Menorah and Chofar are two powerful ritual objects of Jewish worship! Two biblical symbols at the centre of which unfold a dialectic of time and space. Music and singing are receptacles!
We will see with some practical musical examples (the public will sing…), and talmudic, how this dialectic is articulated, of a divine presence, which tends: from the present moment, to the infinite, in unity and the multiple.
