Music Makers

Our commitment is to create beautiful music. We sing Hebrew and Yiddish melodies, some traditional, others contemporary, which have been or can be adapted to humanistic language. We have chosen songs, first and foremost for beauty of melody and harmony and for the ineffable feelings of Jewish connection. We are fortunate to have several very talented musicians who accompany our songs and enhance the richness of our harmonies.

We seek to make sure that singing is a communal experience, so many of our songs are easy to learn, we sing them repeatedly on diverse occasions, we provide transliterations of the Hebrew and Yiddish and English translations as well, and we encourage and cajole people into joining in the singing. We believe that communal participation is the essence of a spiritual experience.

New members who enjoy singing or playing an instrument are always welcome to join the Music Makers. No audition is necessary. Please contact Nancy Lezak or the Kol Shalom Center for more information about upcoming practices.
