Songs from the Beit Midrash: Album Out February 11

This February, Deborah releases her third album of spiritual music with Rising Song Records - activating a new collection of songs designed for communal uplift, spiritual sustenance, and reverent joy. Anchored by an ensemble of musicians leading the folk, jazz, and world music scenes and supported by a community nigun circle, Deborah brings eleven new melodies rooted in Jewish liturgy to life. Recorded live, the artistic team transformed Hadar's beit midrash into a recording studio full to the brim with new music—inspired by the Torah explored, relationships built, and spiritual depth uncovered within its walls. Featuring a new sonic palate combining lush strings, electric instrumentals, and power harmonies, Deborah’s third album invites the listener into a soundscape of prayerful intention and artistic expression.
