‘Lunch and Learn’ couldn’t wait another day to tell you about an extraordinary treat we have programmed for Memorial Day. Plan to Zoom at noon this coming Monday, May 25, for a holiday sing-along, led by Melissa Berman, whose sweet and enchanting voice is familiar to Shul Schmooze readers who have enjoyed her “Quarentunes” videos. Melissa will lead us in “Songs of Celebration” as we pay tribute to our nation and its proud history.
Melissa Berman serves as cantor at New York City’s West End Synagogue, where she enriches her congregation with joyous song, blending the best of Jewish tradition with modern sensitivity. She earned a bachelor’s in music from Duke University and master’s degrees in sacred music and Jewish education from JTS. Before returning to New York, she was cantor at Congregation Or Tzion in Scottsdale, AZ, and for three years at the United Jewish Congregation of Hong Kong.
Please plan to join Lunch and Learn on this Memorial Day to welcome Cantor Melissa Berman and to sing together the songs that elevate the spirit.
