Join Hazzan Natasha Hirschhorn, Ansche Chesed's Shirei Chesed Community Chorus and the H.L. Miller Cantorial School chorus of the Jewish Theological Seminary in spirited congregational singing of the beloved Friday night service prayer melodies enhanced by the rich harmonies of our special guests, the Grammy nominated The Western Wind vocal ensemble.

Shabbat Dinner will be followed by The Western Wind's performance of choral musical gems from the synagogues in Italy, Germany, Ukraine and US, spanning over 400 years of Jewish music. Devoted to the special beauty and variety of a cappella music since 1969, the internationally acclaimed vocal sextet The Western Wind is hailed by The New York Times for its "kaleidoscopic tapestry of vocal hues."

Kabbalat Shabbat Services begin at 5:30pm, followed by dinner and the program.
