B’nai Tikvah Sings, with Reb Josh, re-launches this Tuesday, January 3, 6 pm.
Over the month of January, we will focus on tunes for Saturday morning prayers, as we prepare to lead portions of the February 4th Shabbat Shirah service — the Shabbat of Song, when we read about the crossing of the Red Sea. We meet in the chapel for its intimate acoustics. Singing masks will be available, to keep us all safe.
