Faith In Brooklyn for May 18
Joint Choral Ensembles to Present ‘Eastern European Roots’ Musical Shabbat
The Brooklyn Heights Synagogue presents “Eastern European Roots,” a special music Shabbat service, on Friday, June 2, 2017, at 6:30 p.m. In the course of the service the congregation will also celebrate the installation of new members of the board of trustees. The synagogue is located at 131 Remsen St. and easily reached by numerous subway lines to the Borough Hall subway stop.
Joining Cantor Bruce Ruben will be the Brooklyn Heights Synagogue Choir and members of Essential Voices USA. Judith Clurman will conduct the joint ensemble. Keyboard accompanist will be Miriam Daly.
For many years the dedicated members of the BHS choir have sung exclusively at High Holy Day services. In recent years, under the direction of Cantor Bruce Ruben, the role of the choir has expanded. The choir has sung at special music services at the synagogue featuring Israeli and Sephardic music, at Interfaith Thanksgiving services, at Martin Luther King, Jr. weekend observances with the First Presbyterian Church, and at Yom Hashoah services at Congregation Beth Elohim.
