In Atlanta, music and faith bring together a Rabbi and a gospel singer.
Micah Lapidus is a Reform rabbi who serves as school rabbi for The Davis Academy - and he’s composer-in-residence at The Temple.
Melvin Myles is a soloist formerly with the historic Ebenezer Baptist Church Choir - once the congregation of Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. - and now, he performs at the National Cathedral in Washington.
As Lapidus and Myles, Rabbi Micah and Melvin produce what they call “music for people of conscience.”
This Sunday, they will bring their music to Chattanooga - for “Music at Mizpah,” starting at 2 PM at the Mizpah Congregation at 923 McCallie Avenue.
I spoke with Rabbi Micah, Melvin - and Rabbi Craig Lewis of the Mizpah Congregation.
