Shirainu Jewish Music Concert

Aspects of Jewish music you never knew! Several times a year, we bring in musicians who make Jewish music from around the world and from centuries past to the present. We also have a cantorial Shabbaton every year, which often includes a Saturday evening performance of singing and music unlike most cantorial works you’ve heard before.
