**Kol Tzedek presents Kedmah: The Rising Song Piyyut Project performing their debut album, Simu Lev!**

Kedmah excavates the power and beauty of Mizrahi Jewish expression through ancient poetry and song. Their debut album, Simu Lev, was released in April 2024 on Rising Song Records. Led by Yoni Battat & Rabbi Yosef Goldman, Kedmah invites listeners to experience the spiritual and emotional depth of Middle Eastern piyyut (liturgical poetry) and the traditional Arab melodies that adorn them. We will close out Shabbat Shirah, the shabbat of song, with Kedmah in concert at Kol Tzedek. Co-sponsored by Let My People Sing!, Tribe12, and the Reconstructionist Rabbinical College.
