Leeav Sofer, Artistic Director & Co-Founder of Urban Voices Project, leads a Zoom workshop designed to empower individuals to bring music and art into their lives - both for self-care and for the care of others. The session is equally intended for those with or without a background in music and art. Leeav Sofer explores how the theme of finding one's own voice doubles as a means to unleash the voice of the oppressed. Urban Voices Project creates supportive community spaces with music to bridge vulnerable individuals to a sense of purpose and improved health. UVP engages men, women and families across the greater Los Angeles area with music workshops in partnership with social, civic and healthcare organizations. This workship, hosted by Rabbi Rebecca Schatz, took place on August 28, 2020 as part of the Elul+ Pre-Tishre study program presented by Temple Beth Am Los Angeles.
