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 want 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.
The Glory That Shines
By Emily Stern

Candle lighting meditation by Zelda p 3, Siddur Kol Haneshamah
From the window of my heart
The light of Thine alter Shines,
It spreads all around,
Illuminates the earth and the sky,
The Glory that Shines
Lehadlik neirot, b'chol ha'olomot
Zuhi Shabbat
Lehadlik neirot Shabbat
Lehadlik neirot Shabbat
From the window of my heart
the light of Thine alter comes
Brightening the sun and moon
Blessing man and angels too
