Immerse in an evening of joyful music making and celebratory song at Congregation Micah’s Shabbat In the Round. On Friday, August 14th at 6 p.m., our social hall transforms into an inviting Shabbat song circle filled with laughter, connection, and delight. We’ll have Vanderbilt Divinity School Dean Dr. Yolanda Pierce participating in this sacred Shabbat gathering.
We will have a service in the round, with chairs arranged in a circle instead of our usual seating. This experience allows Shabbat participants to look around and see every face, creating a sense of equality and belonging. The circle itself becomes a symbol of wholeness, an unbroken space of warmth, spirit, and togetherness.
Rooted in a desire to foster deep connection, Shabbat in the Round invites us to slow down, listen closely, and sing boldly. Whether you love to harmonize, clap along, or simply sit and absorb the sound, your presence helps create the sacred rhythm of the evening.
We invite all music makers and meaning makers to this participatory Shabbat service intended to uplift our souls, nourish our hearts, and heal our bodies.
