The mission of Shalshelet* is to enhance spirituality and build community through the creation and dissemination of Jewish sacred music. We believe that Jewish sacred music has the power to link Jews,
affiliated and unaffiliated, across all denominations. We believe
that music, when inspired by sacred text, can provide fresh insight
and depth, enriching the spiritual lives of Jews and non-Jews alike.
We believe that it is essential to unearth and encourage the creation
of such music that is being created all over the world. The common
tie of sacred music will link Jews in a broader and deeper sense
of community, and will enhance the vibrancy of the Jewish people. 2010
