INSTRUMENTALISTS:
WE NEED YOU!
SHIR KLEZ!, our Shir Ami band, is looking for
some new musicians. We need adults who play a
woodwind or brass instrument, violin or cello. You do
need the ability to read music, keep time and know how
to play your instrument. Even if it's been a while
since you played in a band, contact Cantor Elson now if
you'd like to be part of SHIR KLEZ!

physical of ways, with the beautiful biblical garden
that graces the east side of our wooded
property.
