“The Tolner Tish - An Immersive Nigunim Experience” with Frank London
At a tish, we learn and sing nigunim (spiritual melodies), hear stories, usually make a lekhayim, maybe dance a bisl. The purpose is to achieve a transcendent state through music while simultaneously learning.
In this virtual-tish, we will use nigunim attributed to J. Volynets, aka Yosl Tolner, as collected by Moyshe Beregovski, for our singing.
We’ll also discuss ways to learn and use nigunim in our practice, both musical & spiritual.
It is recommended that you each have something to elevate your spirits, whether drinkable, edible, smokable or whatever, to enhance the experience.
