ONE VOICE SHABBAT
This is the sound of one voice!
This is the sound of One Voice! One Voice Shabbat Services fill our spirit through the power of musical prayer featuring Cantor Karlin and the One Voice Band. These services will make you move and groove, each with a special theme for the month! As we join together throughout the year, we’ll focus on all the ways that music brings us together.
Next One Voice Shabbat will be on October 25, 2024!
ShoHaM (Adult Choir)
Wednesdays at 7:00 pm
ShoHaM, literally meaning ‘Onyx’ (the gemstone from the priestly breastplate representing the tribe of Joseph), is our revitalized adult choir, Chavurat Zemer. Meeting weekly on Wednesday evenings from 7-8pm year-round, this choir practices with our cantor and performs in services once a month. Whether you read music or prefer singing from a lyrics sheet, there’s a place for you in our choir. Come join the harmony and be part of something special!

Mah NiSHMa, meaning ‘What’s up?’ or ‘What do you hear?’, is our youth choir for 3rd graders and up. Meeting Sundays after Religious school from 1-2pm, this choir enjoys a pizza lunch before singing. Under the direction of our Cantor, children will learn vocal techniques, music theory, and harmony.
