about

Selah (סֶלָה), a word that appears dozens of times throughout Psalms, is an ambiguous term that’s often left untranslated. Typically found at the end of a verse, the word signals a pause to allow the echoes of prayer to resonate in our spirits. By lifting up this moment of praise, the song reverberates without end.

Recorded over three days in July 2024 at Rittenhouse Soundworks in Philadelphia, this new collection of original melodies infuses timeless prayers from Jewish tradition with palpable joy, haunting beauty and sincere yearning. Featuring eclectic instrumentation and a new band — Shawn Hennesey on ukulele bass and percussion, Dan Blacksberg on trombone, Aly Halpert on harmonium, and Joey on guitars — and the gorgeous communal harmonies of the Rising Song Spontaneous Jewish Choir of Philadelphia, these are songs of eternal praise.
