SPECIAL CHOIR FOR THIS YEAR’S HIGH HOLY DAY MUSIC
We are pleased to announce that our High Holy Day music will again be provided by a choir whose members include George and Mariah Fine, Becky Beck, and Buffy and Matt Stroderd. They were enthusiastically and warmly appreciated when they sang last year.
Kol Nidre will be chanted by Becky Beck, who for many years had been a member of the choir at Temple Sinai in New Orleans. The shofar will again be blown by Howard Oppenheimer.
We look forward to another wonderful High Holy Day experience.
***************
Please don’t forget to inscribe the names of your loved ones in our Temple’s Book of Remembrance, to be distributed on Yom Kippur.
Letters will be going out shortly. The names for inclusion need to be received by September 8.
