Music of Prayer
Beth Tzedec continues to honour its tradition of being the Music Synagogue of Toronto.
From the grandeur of our musical High Holy Days services—with incomparable H̱azzan Moshe Fishel, the internationally-renowned conductor Mein Briskman and the Lishmoa El Harina Ensemble—to our monthly Friday evening Shabbat at the Floor Services with Cantor Sidney Ezer, artist-in-residence Aviva Chernick and Yacov Fruchter and our bi-weekly Shabbat morning Musical Participatory Services with the HarmonEzers, we continue to lift our voices in song and celebration.
UPCOMING MUSICAL PARTICIPATORY SERVICES
October 7, November 11 & 25 and December 9
Join us at Beth Tzedec or via livestream for this musical Shabbat morning service led by Cantor Sidney Ezer, Asher Farber and the HarmonEzers, our small, vocal ensemble.
Lift your soul in prayer as you sing with us or close your eyes in meditation and be carried away by the magnificent harmonic sounds of the service. We will introduce new melodies and revive older and familiar ones in a way that will get your toes tapping as Rabbi Steven Wernick and Rabbi Robyn Fryer Bodzin offer insights into our Torah reading, expertly chanted by Lorne Hanick. Come to be a part of our special musical and spiritual davening.
This service is live-streamed to the Beth Tzedec website at the time the service begins. To access the service livestream, visit https://bethtzedec.tv.
Havdalah at Harbourfront Centre with Aviva Chernick and Jacob's Ladder
Presented as part of Ashkenaz Festival
Beth Tzedec is pleased to partner with Ashkenaz Festival in presenting the Boston-based, international touring band Jacob’s Ladder for a musical Havdalah at the Stage in the Park at Harbourfront Centre (235 Queens Quay W, Toronto).
One of the most revered Jewish rituals, the celebration of Havdalah at the Ashkenaz Festival is possibly the largest and most multicultural observance of this tradition taking place anywhere in Canada. Thousands of people of all backgrounds gather to sing together and awaken their senses by smelling spices, drinking wine, and basking in firelight, as the passing of Shabbat is marked.
This year’s Havdalah is led by Aviva Chernick with colleagues from Beth Tzedec Congregation, in collaboration with Jewish bluegrass and Americana innovators Jacob’s Ladder.
There is no charge; everyone is welcome.
