 CHAG SAMEACH!
We wish a Chag Sameach and a dry Sukkot to everyone. Your cantors have been working hard in the synagogue over the High Holyday period. Thank you for your support for them.
Please now continue that support as we head into the eight days of Sukkot and Simchat Torah (nine days outside Israel).
FIVE DAZZLING UK CANTORS - 5TH OCTOBER
Off the back of our very successful 'Voice of the Cantor' series which ran over Spring and Summer 2021, European Cantors are now gearing up for a major new series in the Autumn and Winter. More news about that very soon.
But we start the Autumn/Fall with a presentation by cantorial expert David Prager and ECA Director Alex Klein on '5 Dazzling UK Cantors' in junction with Edgware United Synagogue.
