Temple Emanu-El welcomes our new Cantor, Cantor Darcie Sharlein. If you haven't already, please join us at a service to hear Cantor Sharlein's beautiful voice and accomplished guitar playing, and to learn how she connects prayer and music.
Cantor Sharlein will co-officiate at Shabbat, High Holy Day and Festival Services and life cycle events with Rabbi Klein, tutor and work with our b’nai mitzvah students, teach in our high school, work with our Religious School and Early Childhood Community, develop and lead adult education and family education programs, lead us in Torah study, engage in pastoral activities, work with our officers, trustees and committees, direct our High Holy Day, Shir Chadash and Youth Choirs, lead our musical programming and be a clergy partner with our Rabbi.
If you are interested in continuing as a member or joining any of our choirs, please contact the Temple office and your name will be forwarded to Cantor Sharlein. An Installation Shabbat honoring Cantor Sharlein will be held this Fall. She is excited that we will welcome Mishkan T’filah as our Congregation’s prayer book on October 17, and will work with Rabbi Klein and our lay leadership in developing educational opportunities for us to learn more about our new prayer book.

By Larry KaufmanIn our wonderful American fusion of calendars, one of the signals we get from Labor Day is that the High Holy Days are coming, and their harbinger is selichot - the term applied both to a religious service...
By William Berkson In the previous post in this series, I described one example of the approach that I think can greatly strengthen Reform Judaism. The key is better to support the sanctity of relationships, and in particular family relationships. And...
