L'hitraot, Meryl!
This week Meryl Zimmerman spent her last day in her official position as Interim Education Director at Shir Chadash. Meryl, we are so grateful for all your dedication and hard work. We are so glad that this is l'hitraot and not goodbye, and that we will be seeing you (and hearing you!) leading our children in joyous song and prayer on Shabbat mornings going forward!

After Shabbat Morning Services
- announcing Trey's Traybakes!
Take home a delicious treat baked by Trey Rintala in our own back kitchen! Trey is the former sous chef and pastry chef of Meauxbar. After he lost the restaurant due to the pandemic, he focused his energy on feeding those needing help by establishing Tres Bon Food Fund, a nonprofit that allowed him to prepare meals for unemployed musicians and service industry workers. He now runs Happy Breakfast Trey, a popup that allows him to engage his more whimsical creative side.

Jewish music is, broadly, music of and by Jewish people. It can be religious or secular. Some of this music dates to Biblical times, and other music has originated in every time and place Jews have lived. And, of course, Jewish music has been influenced by others who live among or around Jews. Jewish music also has influenced broader culture.
Join Hadassah New Orleans to explore the world of Jewish Music in a 6-part series on Sunday afternoons from July 11 – August 15. All programs will take place via Zoom from 4 until 5 p.m., and they are free to all who register.
