There will be LOTS of Jewish music in the Springfield air during the next six weeks!

First, for Chanukah, we are blessed with not one but TWO Friday nights during Chanukah this year! Friday, December 11 will be the first night of Chanukah, and is our monthly "Service with a Band." Come and hear some beautiful Chanukah music with additional instrumental accompaniment. On December 18, the eighth night of Chanukah, we will have a cast of thousands (well, dozens) of different musical groups, including "Shir Fun!" and the Adult Volunteer Choir presenting a wide variety of Chanukah music, from new melodies to old favorites! There's lots more to Chanukah music than dreydels made out of clay; come and hear for yourself on either (or both) of these evenings!

Friday, January 29 will be Shabbat Shirah, so named because the Torah portion for that Shabbat features the crossing of the Sea of Reeds, and the dramatic song that our ancestors sung when we reached the other side in freedom. To celebrate this event, "Shir Fun!" and the Jewish Community Youth Chorale will perform together, first here at Sinai Temple at 6:00, and then again across the street at Temple Beth El at 7:30. Be sure to hear the wonderful sound of the combined groups making a joyful noise unto God on this special evening!

And if all this music wasn't enough… Nava Tehila will be here on Friday, January 15! (See the picture and article on page 5!)

Ivdu et Hashem B’simcha!
Serve the Holy One with Joy!
