Following Shabbat services and dinner, join us for an evening of music with Lapidus & Myles, a collaboration between two faith-based musicians in Atlanta. Micah Lapidus is a reform rabbi and composer-in-residence at The Temple, Atlanta’s oldest and most historic synagogue. Melvin Myles is a highly regarded soloist with the Historic Ebenezer Baptist Church Choir, former pulpit of MLK Jr. as well as The National Cathedral in Washington D.C. Well on their way to achieving their goal of performing in all 50 States, the duo is evocative of the longstanding ties between the Black and Jewish communities and a model for all people of conscience who understand that we are better together and need each other. Performing exclusively original musical compositions, their music and message is infused with a spirit of love, respect, peace, and justice and is profoundly relevant and resonant for audiences of all types, backgrounds, and sizes.
You can listen to some of their music on YouTube.
