Through a labyrinth of circumstances, she met her Chassidish father for the first time in 2014, and singing nigunim together became a powerful spiritual practice. Rena dedicated herself to sharing these sacred melodies with people who might not otherwise have full access to the tradition. Inspired by Let My People Sing! and Chana Raskin's Raza project, Rena started A Queer Nigun Project, which hosts healing spaces for LGBTQ-identified people to explore and record nigunim. QNP is expanding to organize nigun circles in prisons, and is developing branches in Western Massachusetts and soon in Philly. Rena studied at Oberlin, Pardes, and Yeshivat Hadar, and served as an Avodah corps member at Footsteps. She's outrageously excited to grow as a collaborative musician and prayer leader through Rising Song! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5af5bd0c9f8770ec3b77dc01/1556913168194-25TF2MHRWSLO7OPB2SJN/7451%2BRebekka%2BGoldsmith%2Boffiial.jpg Artists - Rebekka Goldsmith Rebekka Goldsmith has been channeling her passion for voice, justice and community as a facilitator, song leader, vocal coach and ritualist for over a decade.

Originally from Philadelphia, Ariel grew up in an observant household where hiking was a typical after-shul activity and blessings were sung harmony. Ariel began performing Jewish music during a gap year in Israel, and facilitating interfaith music and programming through her undergraduate years at Emory University. In the San Francisco Bay Area Ariel met her husband Jon in a band and explored ritual innovation in Jewish Renewal circles and earth-based education through Wilderness Torah. While at Ziegler School of Rabbinic Studies, Ariel focused on the process of t’shuvah, hasidic commentaries, and feminist interpretations of Jewish history and ritual. Her daughter Oriah’s birth was the impetus for a study of Jewish texts and rituals to usher in motherhood.

Through a labyrinth of circumstances, she met her Chassidish father for the first time in 2014, and singing nigunim together became a powerful spiritual practice. Rena dedicated herself to sharing these sacred melodies with people who might not otherwise have full access to the tradition. Inspired by Let My People Sing! and Chana Raskin's Raza project, Rena started A Queer Nigun Project, which hosts healing spaces for LGBTQ-identified people to explore and record nigunim. QNP is expanding to organize nigun circles in prisons, and is developing branches in Western Massachusetts and soon in Philly. Rena studied at Oberlin, Pardes, and Yeshivat Hadar, and served as an Avodah corps member at Footsteps. She's outrageously excited to grow as a collaborative musician and prayer leader through Rising Song! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5af5bd0c9f8770ec3b77dc01/1556913168194-25TF2MHRWSLO7OPB2SJN/7451%2BRebekka%2BGoldsmith%2Boffiial.jpg Copy of Rising Song Jewish Music Residency - Rebekka Goldsmith Rebekka Goldsmith has been channeling her passion for voice, justice and community as a facilitator, song leader, vocal coach and ritualist for over a decade.

Originally from Philadelphia, Ariel grew up in an observant household where hiking was a typical after-shul activity and blessings were sung harmony. Ariel began performing Jewish music during a gap year in Israel, and facilitating interfaith music and programming through her undergraduate years at Emory University. In the San Francisco Bay Area Ariel met her husband Jon in a band and explored ritual innovation in Jewish Renewal circles and earth-based education through Wilderness Torah. While at Ziegler School of Rabbinic Studies, Ariel focused on the process of t’shuvah, hasidic commentaries, and feminist interpretations of Jewish history and ritual. Her daughter Oriah’s birth was the impetus for a study of Jewish texts and rituals to usher in motherhood.
