His concert focuses on &#8220;the redemptive power of this period&#8221;. With his guitar, he sings and contextualizes modern Hasidic and traditional Jewish music. These include settings of Psalms such as <i>My Soul Thirsts for You <\/i>(Ps. 63), various <i>niggunim<\/i> since 1745, <i>gospels<\/i> based on traditional melodies in English and Hebrew as well as other prayer hymns by Rabbi Schlomo Carlebach, Rabbi Israel Goldfarb, Max Janowski and others.   <b><br \/>\n<\/b><\/p>\n<p><strong>Jewish music <\/strong>reflects cross-generational experiences of exile, combined with the uprooting and transplantation of entire communities over many centuries. In every place, Jews are influenced by the sounds and tonal motifs of their surroundings. They weave these musical threads together into a tapestry of hope and faith. Rabbi Danny believes that at the core of Jewish music lies a transcendent sound that connects the Jewish soul to its divine source beyond the dimensions we know.   <\/p>\n<p><strong>The period between Purim and Passover<\/strong> lasts around four weeks. Immediately after the exuberance of Purim with its victorious and carnival-like atmosphere, preparations begin for the eight-day Passover festival, which commemorates the exodus of the Israelites from Egypt and thus plays a central role in Jewish identity. This time of preparation is accompanied by spiritual purification and spiritual upliftment.  <\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;44367&#8243; img_size=&#8221;large&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; css=&#8221;&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;3\/4&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<strong>Danny Bergson<\/strong> is a full-time congregational rabbi at St. Anne&#8217;s Orthodox Hebrew Congregation in Lancashire, on the west coast of England. He also works for the Manchester Jewish Representative Council, where he represents the Jewish community to local government. He was previously a rabbi in Glasgow and London.  <\/p>\n<p>As a trained singer and guitarist, Rabbi Danny is one of the few rabbis who is able to perform services alone or with his own accompaniment. He has over 25 years of experience with Jewish and spiritual music. He completed his vocal training at both the Royal Northern College of Music and the Royal Scottish Academy of Music. His repertoire includes classical cantorial music, opera, musicals and contemporary music. But it is Jewish folk, traditional and Hasidic music that resonates deep in his soul.    <\/p>\n<p><em>His favorite saying is &#8220;If words are the pen of the mind, then music is the pen of the soul!&#8221;<br \/>\nRabbi Bergson lives in Manchester with his wife and five children.<\/em>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<hr>\n<p>Tickets at \u20ac 20\/15\/8 (reduced) are available in the webshop, at <a href=\"mailto:karten@villa-seligmann.de\">karten@villa-seligmann.de<\/a> or by calling 0511 844887-200.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><span style=\"color: #999999;\"><em>Please note that we will be taking photos and videos during this event.
