WANT TO SING?

We’re planning to start a choir with people from the entire Beth Am - Hebrew Tabernacle community, including children.  
This isn't going to be like a professional synagogue choir -- the idea is for it to be a cooperative endeavor.  Anyone can suggest music for us to sing.  Anyone can teach it.  The music can be unison, rounds, or just harmonies to sing from the pews for pieces that we often sing at services.  We can also prepare choral music for special occasions.  (Shabbat Shirah is coming up on January 31.)

You don't need to be able to read music; you just need to be able to carry a tune.  Everyone is welcome. 
If you're interested, please answer this questionnaire so we can find times to meet and rehearse.

A NEW YEAR AND A CONTINUING COLLABORATION
This year, 5786, marks the 2nd anniversary of Beth Am’s collaboration with Hebrew Tabernacle. For the past 2 years we have been sharing the responsibility of providing religious services for the Reform Jewish community of Northern Manhattan and have enjoyed the privilege of worshiping in a Jewish sanctuary.

Members of both congregations are welcome at all services, and we hope that this collaboration will make us a stronger and more vibrant community, even as we continue to maintain our separate and unique identities.

We read all yahrzeits that fall in the week or weeks until our next service.
