Learn to Chant with Cantor Cohen
Are you interested in chanting Torah or Haftarah, but never learned how? Did you chant Torah at your B’nei Mitzvah, but haven’t done it since? Are you curious about the system of cantillation that has been part of Jewish tradition for centuries?
Join Cantor Cohen this summer for a three-part course in cantillation.
We will cover why we chant, the origins of cantillation (the system of chanting our sacred texts), and work on practical Torah and Haftarah chanting skills so that you can feel confident chanting Torah or Haftarah at services! Even if you have chanted Torah before but want to brush up on your skills, please join us for this free series. Open to all musical levels.

Torah Trope 1: Tuesday, June 24⋅6:30 – 8:00 pm
Torah trope 2: Tuesday, July 15 from 6:30-8:00 pm
