This grant is enabling us to run a series of eight 90-minute singing workshops in Sheffield, designed to strengthen outreach to Jewish adults in the area, particularly parents with young children. Our aim is to create welcoming, participatory spaces where people can learn, reconnect, and build confidence in Jewish song.

The workshops focus on Hebrew songs used in erev Shabbat, Shabbat, and festival services, helping us to enrich both our cultural and spiritual life.

This programme builds on previous successful initiatives in our community, including workshops led by Judith Silver in 2017 and Cantor Rachel Weston in 2025. Those experiences demonstrated how powerful shared singing can be in deepening engagement and strengthening community bonds.

Importantly, the project is designed to be accessible. In addition to in-person participation, the grant included the purchase of a high quality omni-directional mike for access via Zoom. The grant has allowed us to pay some of the workshop leader expenses and room hire charge, but it assumes that we will fund some of the total ourselves by asking participants for a contribution towards costs for each workshop.

Promotion of the workshops is supported by our part-time Community Development Worker, Maya, now in her third year with us, helping us extend our reach across the wider Sheffield Jewish community.
