Shalshelet: The Foundation for New Jewish Liturgical Music seeks to
foster new music for Jewish congregational use and expose wider
audiences to innovations in Jewish religious music. Shalshelet
promotes the creation and spread of new Jewish liturgical music.
Through the annual Festival of New Jewish Liturgical Music, along

Shalshelet provides a venue for composers to share their music.
A musical composition submitted

--must have been written less than two years prior to the Festival;

spirit and importance of the text; and
--must not have been previously published or performed at a major

experience. A music committee will review submissions with the
support of advisory members. Submissions may be selected for
performance, publication, or both.
