Congregation Ner Tamid’s Cantor Jessica Hutchings Is In Israel!

Along with Cantor Lizzie Weiss and Cantor Kyle Cotler, Cantor Hutchings will travel to the southern region of Ramat HaNegev where they will join Israeli Rabbi Cantor Shani Ben Or and musician/ composer Boaz Dorot of Nigunim Ensemble I Shani Ben Or & Boaz Dorot. On Tuesday, July 2, they will present a meaningful and uplifting concert for the region called Kolot Bamidbar or “Voices of the Desert.”

You can donate to the effort HERE.

The concert of solidarity, humanity, and love will take place outdoors, overlooking the South of Israel, and be open to the public, at no cost, to local community members, displaced people, and local air force soldiers. Along with song, they will also raise money for continued humanitarian efforts in the region.

While in Israel, Cantor Hutchings will join 75 other Cantors to attend the American Conference of Cantors and travel around the war-torn country. They will meet with families of the hostages, put on concerts at different schools of music, and visit local hospitals to provide emotional and spiritual support. On the final day, they will visit the Nova Festival site where a memorial will be held.
