Beth Tzedec Congregation has a long and illustrious history as The Music Synagogue of Toronto. And today, we honour past traditions by presenting opportunities to gather, celebrate, reflect, honour and remember through song.
Beth Tzedec is thrilled to present Divas on the Bima on Monday, June 19 at &;30 p.m. our next concert event—a night of song inspiration and celebration. The Divas—Cantors Jen Cohen, Magdalena Fishman, Alisa Pomerantz-Boro and Elizabeth Shammash—have hosted many performances through the United States. Join them as they perform an eclectic selection of Judaic, Broadway music, songs of Israel and popular music on our stage.
There is no charge but RSVPs are requested HERE>>.
Shul of Rock: Megillat Esther
A Virtual Purim Event
This year’s Purim event brings together legendary songs, legendary artists and legendary performances as the soundtrack to Megillat Esther. Conceived as a Virtual Live Concert using the artists’ original performances, you will eventually give in to the urge to sing and dance along. You’ll also gain a deeper understanding of the Megillah’s characters and events through party songs, drinking songs, break-up songs, advice songs, relationship songs, fighting-back songs and celebratory songs from a 70-year-old catalogue of rock, pop, ballads, anthems, country & western and more, presented by the same international ensemble that gave us Motown Megillat Esther and Megillat Ruth: The Musical.
Participants are encouraged to dress in the spirit of the event, whether it’s Shushan Royal business casual from 400 BCE or dressed for your favourite concert or theatre venue from the 1950’s forward (that also makes a really good virtual background).
Pre-registration is required to access the Zoom link. To register, click here>>.
