Cantor Marsha Dubrow was a recent winner of the Shalshelet International Competition for New Jewish Liturgical Music for her composition of a setting for the text “Va tikach Miriam ha nivea”. Last December fifth, she led a workshop session on the piece before a packed room of other winners and awards attendees. The piece was performed in the workshop by a choir of cantors.http://shalshelet.org/composers_4thfest.html#dubrowhttp://shalshelet.org/composers_4thfest.html#dubrowhttp://shalshelet.org/composers_4thfest.html#dubrowshapeimage_1_link_0shapeimage_1_link_1

Cantor Dubrow Appointed Harvard Fellow for 2011-2012

Our very own Cantor Dubrow has been appointed a Fellow at Harvard University’s Weatherhead Center for International Affairs (www.wcfia.harvard.edu) for the coming academic year. She will continue to serve our congregation in all her normal and usual capacities, both on and off the bimah according to her regular schedule. We congratulate Cantor Dubrow and wish her success in her Tikkun Olam research efforts.

Yasher Koach!
