Calling Our Teen Singers for the High Holy Days!

From Cantor Sobel:  "As many of you know, we introduced a new family service format last year featuring modern music with a backup band. This year we would like to build on that success by adding a group of teen singers (post bar/bat mitzvah through high school) to add to the ruach (spirit) and positive energy of those services. All we need is you. The main requirement is that you want to sing and are willing and available to sing at the family HH days services on the day of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur as follows:

"If you are interested, please respond to me to let me know at [email protected]. I know that many of you can and do sing quite well so I am hoping enough of you will respond so that we can make this happen. There will, of course, be rehearsals but I expect to have several rehearsal options to accommodate the very busy schedules of our teens.

"Looking forward to creating a spirited worship experience for families for High Holy Days together!"
