MUSIC-THEMED SHABBATOT at THE SONG SHUL!
It’s a new year of The Song Shul’s renowned Shabbat morning services and an entirely new Shabbat experience. Our special music-themed Shabbat services this year have included Leonard Bernstein, Remembrance Shabbat, Ethiopian Shabbat for Sigd, Chassidic Shabbat, Broadway Shabbat, and our powerful Cantorial Classics Shabbat. It’s a full year filled with musical prayer and inspiration!

Anyone can sing prayers to a special melody, but at The Song Shul we bring it to a whole new level. Cantor Simon leads us all while the vocal arrangements of the Toronto Festival Singers provide an incredible cushion of harmonies for our prayers. It’s like singing with a full orchestra — you’d never believe it’s a cappella.
We meet at Bialik

9:00 – 11:30
