Each month, the Adult Education Committee will provide a link to a musical selection related to Judaism that we find compelling. We hope you will take a few minutes to listen. Additionally, you are encouraged to post your thoughts about the composer, musician/s, lyrics, importance, etc. on the temple website. March’s selection is Purim Chagiga.
