Music at Temple Shalom

Music is an integral part of our congregational life here at Temple Shalom. Music brings us together in worship, in celebration, in times of grief and mourning and in times of hope and healing. Music is a wonderful expression of our Jewish culture. We embrace both Jewish tradition and innovation–transporting, elevating and inspiring us beyond the power of words alone.

We are blessed to have so many talented musicians and music professionals among the congregation at Temple Shalom.

• Our Shabbat B'yachad Band, made up of both excellent congregational volunteers and professional musicians and led by Cantor Jen Keren, uplifts our spirits at monthly Friday evening services and other joyous occasions throughout the year.
• Shir Shalom, our adult choir, is an ensemble of volunteer musicians from our congregation, led by Cantor Jen Keren. Shir Shalom rehearses on Wednesday evenings and enhances our Friday evening services on a regular basis. Congregants at all levels of singing ability are encouraged to join Shir Shalom.
