Rabbi Ken Kanter Scholar in Residence
 Friday January 27 at 6:30 p.m.
40 Years of Jews on Broadway
The service that night will include songs and melodies we know from Broadway shows. As an example, instead of the choir singing the regular:
Candle Blessing, they will sing "Sabbath Prayer" from Fiddler on the Roof.
Instead of us singing Mi Chamocha, the choir will sing, "When You Believe," from Prince of Egypt.
The choir will sing "Shalom," from Milk and Honey, instead of singing Shalom Rav.
Cantor Landsman has arranged our opening song, Hinei Ma Tov, to be sung to one of the songs from "Wicked."
It's going to be a very musical Shabbat service! Rabbi Kanter has invited Cantor Landsman, Jeanne Diamond, and our adult choir to join him in his presentation/performance during the dinner after services. His list of songs is fantastic - something for everyone!!!!

Am Shalom is "Water Bottle-free"
 The Evidence is overwhelming. Disposable plastic water bottles are hazardous to our health, and to the health of the planet. The water itself most often comes from a public source, usurped from public domain and resulting in extreme degradation of the ecosystem. The plastic bottle is comprised of toxins known to leach, while their manufacture correlates highly with high disease rates in the manufacturing environs.
