Nava Tehila is a Jerusalem based NGO for Jewish renewal. One of our main foci is creating musical, engaging prayer spaces where people feel comfortable to come as they are.
Nava Tehila’s musical spiritual leaders generate new prayer modalities, compose new music for prayer, and train Jewish leaders, including rabbis, cantors and students, in the art of musical and innovative prayer leading. Our "lab" is an independent liberal Jerusalem community by the same name that experiments with new ideas for enlivening prayer and Jewish ritual.
The Nava Tehila leaders travel to Reform, Conservative and other communities in Israel, the US and Europe to share the ideas that have proven so successful in drawing in not only nonaffiliated Jews, but also speaking to long term members of these communities.
We produce albums of music for Shabbat and High Holidays prayers, and run a free resource website that offers prayer leaders from all around the Jewish wrold access to sheet music and recordings of our new material
