FRIDAY NIGHT SERVICES

Music for our services is joyfully led by our corps of volunteer song leaders, Rob Weissman, Rachel Schreiman, and Janet Christensen.

Rob grew up in New Jersey, where he was a song leader for the Jersey Federation of Temple Youth (many, many years ago). His family (wife Marilyn, son Adam, and daughter Sarah) were founding members of the Temple; Sarah was actually the first girl born within TBS. Rob is delighted to have led music at services at TBS for over 10 years. When not playing guitar, Rob practices law as General Counsel for an environmental consulting firm.

Rachel grew up in Southern California where as a teenager and young adult she studied voice and song led for her NFTY region and at the URJ’s Camp Swig. After packing up her guitar and focusing on career and family for many years, Rachel with her husband Dave and sons Jacob, Evan and Adam relocated to Virginia and joined TBS where she agreed to teach music. Working with the youth of TBS rekindled Rachel’s love of Jewish music and she is thrilled to be able to share that joy during Tot Shabbat and in the main sanctuary.

Janet is a Junior at Fairfax High School where she is a trumpeter in the symphonic band. Janet started singing in Youth choir and is a member of the Gimel Girls (Temple girls who started singing together in 6th grade). This year Janet is also a Song Leader for NFTY-MAR.

JUDY GINSBURGH

We are so blessed to have Judy Caplan Ginsburgh return again in 5765 as our High Holy Day Cantorial Soloist. She adds so much to our services. Judy is a multi-award winning singer, recording artist, and educator. She has been a Louisiana State Roster Artist since 1988 and was named the Louisiana Professional Artist of the Year in 1999. Her recordings of children's music have received three Parents' Choice Awards and a Seal of Approval from the National Parenting Center. Judy typically presents over 100 concerts a year in schools, libraries, community centers, museums and festivals throughout North America. She was the very first High Holy Day soloist we ever had in 1986.For more information, check out her website at http://www.judymusic.com.

Youth Choir

All boys and girls in grades 3-7 who love to sing are encouraged to come join the fun. The Youth Choir practices from 10:00-11:00 a.m. (between Religious School sessions).

MEDITATIVE MUSIC

Have you attended our Meditative Music sessions before Friday night services? They're such a wonderful transition from the work-a-day week into the Shabbat mood.

This year, Sue Kohn is doing most of the musical meditations, with Brad Stein helping from time to time.

Meditative Music can be heard once a month at 7:45 p.m. before Friday night service.
