The Beth Shalom Singers
During our Selihot and High Holyday services, our choir, known as the Beth Shalom Singers, add their voices to several of our services. This group of congregants and professional musicians heightens our enjoyment and understanding of the liturgical experience and lifts us to new heights of spirituality as they officiate together with our Hazzan. Make sure to check our Mishpacha dropdown for dates and times of services in which they participate.
