KHL Unplugged

Music is a key component of life at Kol HaLev.  We begin our learning with wordless tunes--niggunim, and we have a circle for anyone who wants to learn niggunim.  We have an ensemble of musicians (KHL Unplugged) who lead one Kabbalat Shabbat a month (Shabbat Unplugged).  We also play instruments on Shabbat and for other worship as well.  Our music is both "homegrown"--written by our musicians and harvested from around the world including melodies from Nava Tehila, Debbie Friedman, Craig Tubman, Noam Katz and many others.  Please checkout our Shabbat Music for the melodies and texts we use at Kol HaLev, and you also may enjoy our playlist of original music below.  We also offer the occasional chanting service.
