TBA PRESENTS - MORE HIGH HOLIDAY MUSIC FOR YOU! In anticipation of Yom Kippur, we bring you some new and familiar faces to highlight the way in which we hope these tunes help you to feel a deep connection with community. Again, we offer profound gratitude to Lorenz for producing the audio and video for this project. Click, listen, and hum along to the instrumental and choral treats within, including the classic setting of Bruch's stunning Kol Nidre arranged for violin & piano. https://www.youtube.com/playlist

For weeks, we've been working on a project to bring the sweetest vocal and instrumental "hits" of Temple Beth Am to your ears. Some are intended as meditative listening and others for rocking out while you chop vegetables for Rosh Hashanah dinner. We imagine you adding your voices to ours and thereby creating a spiritual web of joy, connected by music across our community as we sing out in our own homes. Here is the first playlist of Sacred Sounds https://www.youtube.com/playlist featuring Cantor Michelle Bider Stone and the Library Minyan HHD Choir,Rabbi Josh Warshawsky, and Cantor Hillary Chorny. There's much more to come! We hope you have at least half as much fun listening to this music as we've had recording and producing this series.
