Hevreh Travels to Argentina 2022

Because of the pandemic, we have made major changes to our touring plans. It is our hope that we will be able to travel to Argentina next summer in 2022! We have reached out to all of our presenters and we will plan to perform for the same venues to be held in historic synagogues in Buenos Aires, Rosario and Cordoba with our first concert to be held at the magnificent synagogue Templo Libertad in Buenos Aires.

We are thrilled to be joined by soprano Alicia DePaolo who sings with the ensemble Miryam among many other groups. Interspersed with Hevreh’s repertoire she will be sing cantillation from the soulful and stirring Book of Lamentations, which is a collection of poetic laments for the destruction of Jerusalem. The planned performances coincide with the observance of Tisha b’av , which marks the destruction of the two temples in 586 BCE and 70 CE.
