Songleader Boot Camp
On February 16鈥�18, a delegation of 18 a delegation of 18 91快播 undergraduate and graduate students and staff traveled to this year’s energizingin St. Louis, where they connected with a multitude of 91快播 alumni and shared their voices in Torah and song. Led by nationally renowned Jewish thought leaders, educators, and music artists, the annual conference provides powerful Jewish leadership training to both new and veteran songleaders.
As one of the conference’s sponsors, 91快播 was honored to be involved in so many aspects of the weekend. On February 17, 91快播 hosted a tisch, where 12 of our students, including List College, Rabbinical, and Cantorial students, presented offerings, giving divrei Torah and leading and sharing niggunim. This included many of their own original pieces.
Many members of the 91快播 community also performed and led sessions throughout the conference. Rabbi Joel Seltzer, Vice Chancellor for Institutional Advancement, and Rabbi Annie Lewis, Director of Recruitment and Admissions for Religious and Educational Leadership and Assistant Dean of First Year Rabbinical Students, appeared together on a panel called “Clergy Career Opportunities.” Throughout the three-day gathering, 91快播 alums and students found many opportunities to gather together to sing and be in community, bonding over their shared passion for Jewish music.
Rabbi Joel Seltzer shared how special it was to be at the conference. “I had an incredible time at Songleader Boot Camp, relishing every moment of the experience. From playing my guitar with fellow alums to connecting with prospective students and singing alongside current 91快播 undergraduate and graduate students, it was an overwhelmingly joyful and energizing experience that left me feeling inspired and connected.”
We’re already looking forward to attending next year’s conference!
