Item Description

­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­Here’s your opportunity to bring a very special musical and spiritual experience to your synagogue. HaShabbat asher LiShlomo (The Shabbat of Salamone Rossi Hebreo) is an acclaimed presentation of an Italian rite Friday evening Shabbat service as it might have occurred in Mantua, Italy, in the early 1600s. The service features the music of Salamone Rossi Hebreo, the noted Italian Jewish musician and composer who was the first person known to write multi-part choral music for the Jewish liturgy. Performed by Il Concerto di Salamone Rossi Hebreo, co-directed by Cantor Louise Treitman and Rich Lustig, Ph. D., this event is not a concert; it is a Friday evening service that includes Rossi’s music in its appropriate liturgical context as well as prayers using traditional Italian melodies and Torah chanting (where appropriate) using an Italian trope. This highly praised service has been presented before Reform and Conservative congregations. 

Item Special Note

We will work with your synagogue to plan the Friday evening service on a mutually agreeable date.
