Friday Night Shabbat of Song
featuring the debut of
Kolot Shonim
Friday, February 7th at 7:00pm

CAA is excited to welcome Kolot Shonim on Friday evening, February 7th, for Shabbat Shira, a Shabbat of Song.

Kolot Shonim, meaning “Different Voices,” is a music group that was formed in Nyack, New York by Soloist Ilana Davidson, Hazzan Michael Kasper and Singer/Songwriter Eleanor Kaufman. They are joined by musician and composer, Elliot Roman.

The group blends together their diverse musical backgrounds to arrange, perform and write traditional secular and liturgical Jewish music. Kolot Shonim takes inspiration from ancient cantoral and musical traditions as well as folk melodies and Israeli music.

The depth of Kolot Shonim’s knowledge brings a unique and beautiful interpretation of the Shabbat liturgy and beyond. They are excited to bring their Shabbat evening service to Congregation Ahavas Achim.

A special oneg sponsored by Jerry and Deborah Kaufman will follow the service.
