Music

“But now bring me a minstrel. And it came to pass, when the minstrel played, that the hand of God came upon him.” – 2 Kings 3:15

Music has the capacity to lift up our soul and connect us with God in a way that nothing else can. Music at Temple Emanu-El includes grand, ornate pieces, as well as highly approachable ones. Each reflects a different aspect of our relationship with God, Torah, and Jewish tradition.
