grassroots initiative to promote new sounds in synagogue music,

particular movement.

led by Beth Ahm's Shabbat Limud music team, Dr. Howard Lupovitch and Ronn, Emily and Rebecca
Nadis. The evening will conclude with a light dessert reception.
Reservations are encouraged but not required - call Tessa Goldberg, (248) 851-6880. To join the
