Etz Chayim Hi, or "it is a tree of life", is the song Jews sing on Shabbat when closing the ark at the end of the Torah service.
Limmud Bay Area participants gathered round the mic to sing and shared their impressions of the song and music in acrylic and tempera. Then we stitched this together to help you learn. Prayer karaoke! Prayer-eoke?
The Limmud Bay Area session that created this video was made possible by generous support from the Covenant Foundation.
