The Martha’s Vineyard Hebrew Center will celebrate the end of summer with a unique Taylor Swift-themed Shabbat at State Beach on Friday.

While the Hebrew Center often holds a Shabbat by the sea, Rabbi Caryn Broitman said this is the first time they have decided to include the illustrious pop-star’s music in their program. The service begins at 6 p.m. on August 23, and will include sing-a-longs and analysis of five of Ms. Swift’s hits, such as Invisible String and You Need To Calm Down.

Rabbi Broitman said she started listening to Ms. Swift’s music about a year ago per the recommendation of her daughter. She said she thought Ms. Swift’s poetic lyrics reflected the spirit of Jewish culture, and wanted to share her analysis with the community.

“I’ve found music, especially music with a poignant and spiritual poetry, to really enhance a prayer experience,” Rabbi Broitman said. “I think that Taylor Swift is one of the most powerful lyricists today.”

While Ms. Swift often speaks about her Christian faith and includes references to the Bible in many of her songs, Rabbi Broitman said her music still resonates with Jewish people.

“The kinds of things [Ms. Swift] sings are the kinds of things that Jewish tradition thinks about, teaches and has wisdom for,” Rabbi Broitman said.

She used Invisible String as an example. The song describes a hidden linkage between people that withstands time. Rabbi Broitman said that Judaism explores a similar philosophy, and when this connection is realized it can feel miraculous.

Rabbi Broitman said the service will follow the typical Shabbat schedule. Jessica Sanseverino, the music teacher at the Tisbury School, will sing with Jack Crawford, accompanied by guitarist Eric Johnson and percussionist Anthony Esposito.

While many organizations are using Ms. Swift’s music to connect with young adults, teenagers and children, this was not the Hebrew Center’s motivation. Rabbi Broitman said Ms. Swift’s music resonates with people of all ages.

“We have kids in our religious school who love Taylor Swift that are eight, nine years old,” she said. “We also have people in our congregation that are swifties who are 80 or more . . . She really speaks to people of all ages.”
