sounds of sinai

Shalom! And welcome to Sounds of Sinai.

This recording was made as an educational tool to help you learn the various Friday night Shabbat melodies that we do at Temple Sinai. For some of the texts, there are more than one musical version to reflect the rich musical traditions of our congregation. Please feel free to sing along, clap, tap your feet, and even dance to the music. It is my hope that by providing you with this tool, you will come to the Shabbat service with a deeper connection to the music, and therefore, feel more comfortable participating in our worship service. In this way, you will be able to add your own voice to the Sounds of Sinai. Enjoy and Shabbat Shalom!
