Ozi v'Zimrat Yah!
God is my Strength and my Song:
Meet to Praise God with Harmony!
Shabbat afternoon, January 11, 12:45 pm
 Do you enjoy singing liturgical rounds and chants in harmony with other singers? If so, meet in the chapel after kiddush to make harmony together with a focus on prayer and praise. Don't worry if you can't carry a tune, we'll seat you with someone who can. Do you have a song to teach and lead? If so, please send the words in advance to Pam Winthrop Lauer, who will put together a song sheet. We'll launch this on January 11, which will be Shabbat Shirah (the Shabbat of Song). Feel free to be in touch with ideas or questions.
