The Temple Israel Youth Choir has been singing for decades. For 2nd-7th graders, the Youth Choir offers our kids the opportunity to learn to sing a variety of Jewish music and perform for different audiences throughout the year.  The group participates at Qabbalat Shabbat services once a month. Special moments during the year include: learning new music and rehearsing with our featured musicians for the Karol Music Weekend, joining forces with the Boston Children’s Chorus at the MLK Shabbat, observing Yom HaShoah with the Hawthorne String Quartet, and participating at the annual Boston area Zimriyah, when all the youth choirs join in an afternoon of singing. We also have been performing for local nursing homes over the years. Cantor Einhorn directs the Youth Choir and is assisted by Mark Feldhusen, our accompanist. Rehearsals are once a week during the inter-session on Sundays from 10:45-11:15 a.m.

While prayer can take place anywhere, we most often gather together on Shabbat. However, many people walk into the synagogue, open the prayer book, and realize they don’t really understand the words they are saying!

Our goal is to help each member learn the order of the service, the prayers involved, and the meaning behind those prayers. This page will give you the mechanics of our Temple Israel services so that each time you walk through our doors, you feel empowered to fully participate in Shabbat.

We are pleased to offer these Hebrew and transliterated text of B’nei Mitzvah Blessings, along with audio recordings by Cantor Emeritus Roy Einhorn.
