The Step Into Shabbat CD produced by Julie Geller '91 and Deb Dusansky ‘87 was released in December to much acclaim. The CD takes the listener through a Friday night of Jewish music,
stories, brief meditations to focus the listener and celebration. With
traditional Shabbat tunes, such as Eishet Chayil, Shalom Aleichem and
the Grace after Meals, alongside new Julie Geller favorites that are
destined to become classics! The CD was named one of the top five new Shabbat CDs by the JUF News, which said, "Geller has a folksy, listenable voice and the piano-based arrangements encourage singing along... A very accessible way to learn - or relearn - the steps into Shabbat." (Paul Wieder, JUF News). Over $1200 was raised for Boulder Stepping Stones through the sale of the CD.
