Becoming Home with Renna Khuner-Haber

6/9/2014

Renna Khuner-Haber grew up in Berkeley, but left for the east coast to attend Barnard College. After completing her bachelor's degree, she returned to San Francisco where she chose the Mission District as her home, and became active in the Mission Minyan community. Sharon Shakked grew up in Tiburon with a more traditional Jewish upbringing, while her husband, Orr, grew up in Israel in a more secular setting. When the two met, Sharon was active in her congregation which Orr soon came to claim as his own. In this segment, both Khuner-Haber and the Shakkeds consider the thoughtful ways they observe Shabbat each week.

The decision to live in the Bay Area is personal and encompasses a wide range of experiences and motivations—some have moved here because of love, others to attend university, to seek a new job, to escape persecution, to establish new rituals, or just to dream a little.

In this documentary commissioned for the exhibition "California Dreaming: Jewish Life in the Bay Area from the Gold Rush to the Present", filmmaker Pam Rorke Levy interviewed a wide range of individuals who call the Bay Area home and identify in some way with being Jewish.

Shefa Gold talking about chanting: Sham etayn et dodai lach  /  There I will give you my love.    (Song of Songs 7:13)     "This is a practice of strengthening and refining our deepest and finest intentions to love God through each moment and detail of our lives. Before the chant begins, imagine before you the landscape of your life - all the small details that make up your day. Then when you chant the word "Sham - (there)," focus the force of your love into a particular detail or relationship of your daily routine. Imagine bringing the power of Love (a love that embraces the mystery of the Whole), to everything you do... "

Wedding Music - Community Thought Questions:

What is a wedding without music?

Who chooses the music?

Does their intention or connection with the music matter?

Who plays or contributes to the music?

Does their connection and intention impact the event?

Think of the last wedding or memorable event you went to, what part did music take in the event?

What do you remember about the music?

When someone comes to your congregation, organization or event for the first time, how do they feel about the music?

Do you know what the impact of the music is?

 Listen to Sual Kaye's rendition of Lecha Dodi here or one of the dozen other pieces on his new Kabbalat Shabbat album.

 Saul Kaye is the pioneer of  JEWISH BLUES. Saul has brought together the sounds of the struggle of the African Slaves in this country with the history of the Jewish slavery experience.

Saul has shared stages with all the top name performers in the Jewish world in the last 3 years.  Craig Taubman, Dan Nichols, Idan Raichel, Josh Nelson, Joshua Nelson, and Rick Recht. Kaye has played the Greater Jewish Chicago Festival, Atlanta Jewish Music Festival, Philadelphia Jewish Music Festival, Boulder Jewish Music Festival, the Wexner Institute as well as the URJ Biennial, Aleph Kallah, and LIMMUD UK.  He is musical director for Peninsula Temple Beth El in San Mateo for High Holidays.

After releasing 3 volumes of Jewish Blues, Kaye began leading Shabbat services in 2010 and has led over 120 in the last  3 years. Kaye wrote a Kabbalat Shabbat CD and now leads services most every Friday and Saturday in communities all over the country with these new melodies. Playing 130-200 concerts, services, ‘edutainment sessions’, and workshops a year, Kaye is illuminating the Jewish World with old soul and new melodies.

Kaye’s latest release, Kabbalat Shabbat, is a celebration of the Friday night prayer service. On this Cd, Kaye, born in South Africa, explores his African Roots with deep rhythms and percussion, sweet harmonies, and has guest artists. Enjoy new melodies to familiar T’filah.

" 'If you fail to plan, you plan to fail.' Intention is spiritual planning, I set an intention before every concert, service, edutainment session, or Festival that I play and even during the event I bring it to mind to realign myself with my higher purpose which is to bring Jews home." - Saul Kaye.

"Music is the connective tissue between all the elements of my life, it is the glue that holds my world together and the oxygen that nourishes my spirit and opens me up to Hashem and connecting to the community around and in front of me." - Saul Kaye

"I'm honored to be considered for a project of this depth and breadth. Thank you for the opportunity to contribute!" - Saul Kaye

PictureFaith Hayflich
P. Faith Hayflichis President of Congregation Emanu-El, a small Reform congregation in Spokane WA. She spent many years as a small business owner in Silicon Valley and visiting Yasodhara Ashram in British Columbia, where she explored the mind-body-spirit connection, reflected deeply on her life, and  learned how to meditate on light and chant.  She eventually moved to Spokane in order to teach yoga and meditation and spend more time at the ashram.  In 2008, wanting to learn more about the tradition she grew up with, Faith began exploring  Judaism. She is currently studying for her adult Bat Matzvah and combines Jewish and yogic meditation practices. Faith sings, laughs and (tries to) meditate daily in Spokane.
