Music + Choirs

Music + Choirs at Shaare Emeth

Music is an integral part of worship and daily life at Congregation Shaare Emeth. Under the direction of Cantor Seth Warner and Musician-In-Residence Lucy Greenbaum, our music is lively, meaningful, and participatory.

We invite you to Shaare Your Voice through involvement in one of our choirs.

Join Cantor Warner, Ben Silvermintz, and Orin Johnson for approachable and meaningful music-making that will enhance our worship beyond measure.

The only requirement is that you bring an open mind, voice, and soul to our rehearsals. Previous singing and musical experience is helpful but not required. Grandparents, parents, and children are welcome to participate together. All ages are welcome, though over the age of 13 is recommended.

Intro to Shofar Blowing

Tuesdays, August 27 and September 3
5 p.m. in the Stiffman Sanctuary

Have you always wanted to learn how to blow the shofar? Do you have a shofar laying around the house that’s never been used? Are you looking to put your wind instrument experience to good use? Look no further than this shofar class taught by the talented Betsy Cytron. Whether you’re 10 years old or 100, Betsy can teach you to blow a shofar. Attendance at both classes is encouraged, but not required. No prior experience is necessary.
