Our Shabbat Service celebrating
Shabbat Shirah (Sabbath of Song) will be Friday,
February 9th at 8:00 pm. The Adult Choirs of Bet
Shalom and Shir Tikvah will join for our 10th year
of making beautiful music together! This year we
will feature the music of contemporary composer
Gerald Cohen.
Gerald Cohen is one of the most
gifted composers of Jewish music in our time. His
music has been commissioned by choruses including
the New York Virtuoso Singers, the Canticum Novum
Singers, the Syracuse Children’s Chorus, St.
Bartholomew’s Church (New York, NY), the Zamir
Chorale of Boston, and the Usdan Center Chorus.
Gerald Cohen has received the Max Wohlberg Award for
Distinguished Achievement in the field of Jewish
composition from the Cantors Assembly. He is Cantor
at Shaarei Tikvah Congregation in Scarsdale, N.Y.
and is on the faculty of the H.L. Miller Cantorial
School of the Jewish Theological Seminary.
