Jewish Choral Music has always had a special place in my heart. Several members of our synagogue chorale regularly attend the North American Jewish Choral Festival. Here we learn new choral music and have a chance to sing with hundreds of other Jewish community singers. I had the honor of performing the following work with Cantor Benjie Ellen Schiller and NAJCF youth ensemble assembled that week!

Another special NAJCF performance occurred a few years ago. We are in a Jewish Community Choirs golden age of sorts, where new ensembles are springing up everywhere. How wonderful!
Several of our members are actually singers in NASHIRAH, the Philadelphia Adult Jewish Community Choir.
