Music, Jewish Culture & Connection: Aiden Kent & The Portland Niggun Circle

This is a stressful, nail-biting week of argumentation, animosity and election stress. So, we take you in another direction: music that brings people together in literal and figurative harmony.  Jewish music has been an entryway for those in the Jewish community  who otherwise have felt alientated from Jewish prayer.  A Niggun is a wordless melody that people sing together and can be transcedent.  Jewish melodies inherited from our ancestors and new melodies created by peers find their way into Jewish prayer and can make Jewish prayer exciting and dynamic. Aiden Kent stops by the podcast to talk about music but the conversation goes deeper and into interesting places.... Enjoy.
