about

For generations, our Temple Beth Elohim community has championed the value of music and song. This album is a snapshot in time, honoring many of our favorite musical settings sung by our congregation today. Throughout these tracks you will hear the intergenerational voices of our community including our TBE Youth Choir, TBE T’filah Band, TBE Adult Choir and more. Each song connects to the theme of the “voice,” be it the voice of justice, togetherness, praise, song, truth, or kindness. I invite you to listen to each individual’s voice on this album, and in turn, find a place for your voice to join with ours and to make it yours.

B’shira (In song),


Cantor Shanna Zell
