Jospel: The Jewish Gospel Experience Concert
The word "Jospel" is the combination of the Jewish and Gospel styles of music. Over the past 18 years, Lisa's work with Interfaith, African American and Jewish choirs of all ages has inspired her to write music which melds these styles for use in community, Christian and Jewish worship settings. This concert features her original music in an uplifting, inclusive and inspiring set which includes singing, clapping and audience participation in the amazing Jewish Gospel Experience!
Soulful Shabbat: An Interfaith Shabbat Service
Soulful Shabbat: An Interfaith Shabbat Service
Soulful Shabbat is an entire Friday Evening Service composed by Cantor Lisa Levine written specifically for outreach and interfaith settings. Most of the prayers are set in both Hebrew and English and meld a variety of styles including gospel, country, folk, Chassidic, Klezmer and Ladino. The melodies are easy to sing and meant for congregational participation. Cantor Levine’s expertise is in bringing diverse groups together to present Soulful Shabbat including youth, teen, adult, interfaith choirs and bands. The reaction of worshippers to Soulful Shabbat has been so overwhelmingly positive that Lisa is now traveling the country to bring communities together with Soulful Shabbat.
My Songs For The Jews of Cuba
This one hour concert takes audiences around the world through Jewish music. In 2006 Lisa performed a concert in Havana, Cuba, where she adapted a concert of Jewish folksongs that she thought the Jewish community there would like. The reaction was so great, that when she returned to the states, she recorded a CD especially for the Jews of Cuba. The concert begins with Ladino songs, moves to Yiddish folk songs, Cantorial gems and ends with favorite Hebrew melodies. Paired with her narration about her trips as the first woman cantor to perform in Cuba, audiences have been riveted by her story and stylistic renderings of the favorite songs of the Jewish people.
