We are excited to welcome liturgist Alden Solovy to United Hebrew
We are excited to welcome liturgist Alden Solovy to United Hebrew for a residency during Sukkot. He will join us for Shabbat services, Torah Study and several other programs throughout the weekend for different ages. Alden Solovy spreads excitement for prayer. A Jewish poet and liturgist, he’s written more than 600 pieces of new liturgy challenging the boundaries between prayer, meditation, personal growth and poetry. His work appears in a variety of anthologies and prayer books in the Jewish, Christian and secular press. His latest book, This Grateful Heart: Psalms and Prayers for a New Day, was recently published by CCAR Press. Alden serves as liturgist in residence for the Board of Jewish Education of Metropolitan Chicago. A native Chicagoan, Alden made aliyah to Israel in 2012 where he’s an avid hiker, activist and leader in men’s healing work.
