I have shared new music with you\, l earned your customs and traditions\, and more. I look forward to a bright future with this warm community.\n\nDuring the month of Elul I do my most meaningful professional and personal preparation for the year ahead. With this in mind\, I would like to share a few of the new elements I plan to b ring to Am Yisrael in the near future.\n\n1.Sunday Morning Minyan- On Sept ember 8\, the first Sunday of SJS\, I plan to bring in guitar to our Sunda y morning minyan services. The timing will remain a mere 30ish minutes! Pl ease join us.\n\n2.High Holidays - This year\, we are excited to bring new energy to the bimah. Many of our beloved melodies will continue to be pre sent though the music for High Holidays this year will sound different. Ou r soprano from the last few years\, Rachel Goodman\, will continue to sing with us this year. We are excited to welcome two new vocalists\, Scott Sp ector and Justin Berkowitz. Our congregant\, Jonah Greenthal\, will be acc ompanying us on High Holidays as well.\n\nLast year\, Cantor Simon\, along with choir members\, Peter Pohhammer and Fred Zimmerman retired from sing ing and leading us for the High Holidays. Also\, Cantor Simon’s son\, Je ff\, and nephew\, Rob\, have decided to no longer be leading Yigdal. We th ank them all for their beautiful and long lasting contributions over the p ast 40 years!\n\n3.New Tunes - During the month of Elul\, I enjoy sharing thematic tunes. One is the Elul Niggun by Eitan Katz and the other is Acha t Sha’alti (in Psalm 27) by Israel Katz. I hope you’ll join me in lear ning them through the videos linked here and here.\n\nAs we prepare for th e High Holidays and the beginning of the SJS year\, I look forward to dave ning and singing with you soon. Be on the lookout for a few more recording s of new tunes that you’ll hear during High Holidays in the weeks ahead. \n\nIn this season of transition for Am Yisrael\, I am grateful to you all for your trust in me as your new cantor.\n\nI look forward to seeing you soon.\n\nWarmly\,\nCantor Dara Rosenblatt\nMore melodies:\n\n[audio mp3="h ttps://www.amyisrael.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Vyeetayu.mp3"][/audio] \n\n[audio mp3="https://www.amyisrael.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Niggu n-Tishrei.mp3"][/audio]\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JwbE7du3LTA\n\n  \; ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.amyisrael.org/wp-content/uploads/202 3/04/Ark-RH-scaled.jpg CATEGORIES:Featured,Holidays,Shabbat and Holidays END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:America/Chicago X-LIC-LOCATION:America/Chicago BEGIN:DAYLIGHT DTSTART:20240310T030000 TZOFFSETFROM:-0600 TZOFFSETTO:-0500 TZNAME:CDT END:DAYLIGHT END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
