At Temple Beth El, a balance of traditional Jewish music blended with contemporary styles encourages participation from the whole congregation, raising our prayers to a higher level of spirituality. Our Cantorial team, musical groups and guest professional musicians create a feeling of ruach (spirit) that helps to make Shabbat and holiday experiences more vibrant and more meaningful.
Each member of our Cantorial Team brings a unique perspective and style to our services.
If music is your passion, Beth El is the place to be! We have many opportunities for you or your children to grow your passion for musical expression. Musical ensembles are led by Cantorial Soloist Michelle Auslander Cohen and Cantor Jake Harris.
