2023-2024 Scholar-In-Residence Program #2 Renewal Judaism
December 15,16 with Hazzan Abbe Lyons
Renewal is an attitude, not a denomination, and offers tools to all branches of Judaism.
Jewish Renewal is a transdenominational approach to revitalizing Judaism.
Renewal combines the joy of Hasidism, the informed do-it-yourself spirit of the havurah movement, egalitarianism, and the accumulated wisdom of centuries of tradition.
Renewal values deep ecumenism; in Hillel’s words, we learn from every person and spiritual tradition.
Renewal creates innovative, accessible, and welcoming prayer experiences.
Renewal shapes
halacha
(Jewish law) into a living way of walking in the world.
Renewal seeks to deepen the ongoing, joyful, and fundamental connection, with a God who connects us all, which is at the heart of Jewish practice.
Hazzan Abbe Lyons is dedicated to making Jewish music, learning, and practice both accessible and inspiring, in everyday life as well as at sacred times. She received s'micha as Hazzan in 2010 through ALEPH Ordination Programs. She serves Hillel at Ithaca College and is on faculty at both Aleph Ordination Programs, and Davennen Leadership Training Institute.
Hazzan Lyons is a writer, musician, composer, and innovative liturgist whose published work includes
Jewish Liturgy: A Guide For Everyone (2022),
poetry and alternative social justice haftarot, and two albums of original music. She co-founded the SpeakChorus Torah Project in 2010.
