Music | Temple Beth El

At Temple Beth El, a balance of traditional Jewish music blended with contemporary styles encourages participation from the whole congregation, raising our prayers to a higher level of spirituality. Our Cantorial team, musical groups and guest professional musicians create a feeling of ruach (spirit) that helps to make Shabbat and holiday experiences more vibrant and more meaningful.

Join a Music Ensemble

If music is your passion, Beth El is the place to be! We have many opportunities for you or your children to grow your passion for musical expression. Musical ensembles are led by Cantorial Soloist Michelle Auslander Cohen and Cantor Jake Harris.

Adults

Koleinu*

This group is for people who love Jewish music and love to sing! No prior experience is necessary, just a passion for community and singing!

Kol Zimrah*

This is a small, audition-based group of people who read and learn music on their own, can hold a harmony part with ease, and have some high-level amateur/professional experience.

Adult Band

Your kids should not be the only ones having fun making music! For adults who have an instrument they are already somewhat proficient in, this is your chance to meet other parents, make music and have a great time! The Temple Beth El adult band is a fantastic way to apply your love of music within the walls of the temple and out in the community.

*Both adult choir ensembles participate in a variety of Temple programming, including Friday night services, holidays, social events and end of year concert. Sign up to receive a rehearsal schedule.

Kids and Teens

Malachim

This is a youth choir for kids in 3rd-5th grade. (If your child is involved with Barclay’s Joseph and the Technicolor Dreamcoat, this would not be an option in the fall). We have a lot of fun, lunch is provided, and kids participate in various Friday night services and holidays, nursing homes and an end of year concert.

Teen Band*

The Temple Beth El Teen Band is an inclusive and exciting way for students to deepen their connections to music and our community through melodies, both sacred and secular. Teens learn about a variety of musical styles, as well as have opportunities for performances at the Temple and beyond.

*Beth El Teen All-Access pass required. Click here for more information.
Concerts

Temple Beth El regularly brings in exciting guests for concerts for our members and community, including Dan Nichols, the Maccabeats, and more.

Our Services

Our Shabbat and Holiday services have beautiful music from our amazing Cantorial Team. 

In addition to normal Shabbat Evening services, we also have themed services with different styles, including Debbie Friedman Shabbat, and even taking inspiration from classic bands such as Queen and The Beatles!

Auditions will be held for placement in this group.
