From Our Cantor

I would like to take this opportunity to welcome prospective members to Tiferet Bet Israel, a synagogue where neighborhoods blend together for study, worship, and social fellowship. TBI is a place where people of varied backgrounds and histories find each other and find opportunities to enrich their relationship with Judaism.

I personally welcome each of you to take from the musical offerings here what you feel you want or need. You may enjoy learning how to read the Torah or a selection from the Prophets, a haftara; you may enjoy learning how to chant a service, how to perform a Chanukah song on a particular instrument, or any individualized goal in Jewish music. If you sing, we certainly welcome you into our Adult Choir, which rehearses briefly on Sundays at noon; if you enjoy listening, we invite you to our annual musical concerts. Your children or grandchildren may enjoy membership in our Religious School Choir or the classes in Chazzanut, the leadership of our services, held during Religious School sessions.

We all encourage you to visit TBI soon and often. I look forward to greeting you and welcoming you into our family.

Sincerely,

Bernard Walters
Cantor
