Since May 2009, the Shir Hamakom community has celebrated Shabbat in a casual atmophere with guest musicians and spirited song.  This year, join us for High Holy Day music worship that reveals the spirit and meaning of this season in song, celebrating this season with music and the warmth of our community.  We look forward to welcoming you, your family and friends.  

Casual Music Worship that 
Celebrates Life and Tradition

Led by our worship leader, Arnie Davidson, and guest Cantor Robin Sparr-Rothman, we will journey together through the Yamim Nora'im (Days of Awe) with a blend of traditional and contemporary music that will engage your senses and ignite your spirit in the informal and down-to-earth setting for which Shir Hamakom is known.  Dr. Eileen Ain, jazz flutist from New York City, will again share the warmth and soul of her music with us and Eugene Rothman will add rhythm to our worship with his tasteful percussion.

We will use a specially prepared Machzor (High Holy Day prayerbook) to encourage your participation and reflection.  All of our prayers are translated and transliterated to invite your participation, regardless of your Hebrew background - everyone is equal and all are welcome.  Join us to hear the seasonal call of the shofar (ram's horn), explore the traditional music and prayers in a fresh and vital setting with friends and family, and draw the meaning of this season into your heart with spirited song.  

Our High Holy Day worship will take place in central Glastonbury.  We would love to have bountiful and free space for all to worship, but due to space limitations, we ask that you please register early to assure a seat at our music worship.  High Holy Day passes are a benefit for our Mishpacha and Shomrim Hamakom (Shir Hamakom members). Additional passes will be available for guests and students.  (Shir Hamakom Mishpacha membership is open to all, regardless of financial circumstances.)  Click here to register online - your support of Shir Hamakom is tax deductible.
