Songs from the Beit Midrash: Coming February 2026
This winter, Deborah will release 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 gifted musicians leading the folk, jazz, and world music scenes and supported by a community nigun circle, Deborah brings eleven new melodies rooted in the liturgy of Jewish tradition to life. 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.
Beit Midrash of Song
Titled Songs from the Beit Midrash, Deborah and her artistic team transformed Hadar’s NYC Yeshiva into a recording studio full to the brim with new music - inspired by the deep and resonant Torah unpacked within its walls.
Rising Song has long reveled in re-imagining heimish shtiebls, little-used choir lofts, and grand sanctuaries - spaces grounded in the stories of tefila and nigun - into recording studios. Through this new album, Hadar’s beit midrash joined this experiment - music emerging from a living, breathing space of Torah, Avodah, and Hesed.
Hashiveinu: Out Now!
An uplifting nigun designed for communal song and prayer, this participatory melody brings the heart-opening power of the community nigun circle into this album’s soundscape. Anchored by claps, knee slaps, and percussion, the collective improvised harmonies underscore the message of rejuvenation and hope embedded in the text.
Sim Shalom: Out Now!
A prayer for peace rooted in the liturgy of the Amidah, this ballad invites us to sing in a future of shalom, tova, and bracha - peace, goodness, and blessing. Anchored by an instrumental tapestry featuring cello, electric guitar, and piano, soaring harmonies encapsulate the yearning for peace embedded in our prayers.
