Music at Temple Shalom

Music is at the heart of congregational life at Temple Shalom.  It imbues each moment with meaning, enhances our joy in moments of celebration and soothes our hearts in times of sorrow. 

Musical Leadership 

Cantor Jen Keren leads our community in song and prayer. She finds joy in lifting up the congregation's voice together in song.
