Peace Studies and the Clergy’s Voice

Catalog description

This course brings another dimension to the Peace Studies curriculum at AJR. This course focuses on the active use of the speaking, chanting, and singing voice each member of the clergy has to offer. The place of music in conflict resolution, for which a rich body of material exists, will be examined along with experiences and techniques for enriching the task of making peace in the many varied situations all clergy members find themselves working in. This course is part of the Peace Studies requirement for cantorial students and an elective for rabbinical students.
