How can a wordless melody help us interpret sacred text?
In this episode, Sophie is joined by Rabbi Deborah Sacks Mintz, Jewish musician and Director of Tefilla and Music at Yeshivat Hadar. Together, they trace her path from the conservatory to the Beit Midrash, discuss the role of repetition in spiritual memory, and the tension between structure and improvisation in nusach and nigun.
