Congregation Or Chadash Singers

AHH... Spring is in the air, baseball season is starting up, pollen is starting to make us sneeze, and the first thing everyone is thinking about is...

High Holy Days Choir Rehearsal!

O.K., maybe not, but this year the High Holy days occur early in the solar calendar, around Labor Day...so we need to get cracking on rehearsals and will be starting in mid-July!

Contact Ron Isaacson or Stephanie Weishaar if you are interested in joining!
