Across generations, Jews have woven a rich tapestry of melodies to accompany our prayers. At Beth El, we honor this heritage by blending traditional and modern nusach (melodies) in our services. In our ongoing commitment to inclusivity and nurturing service leaders, we offer recordings of the tunes frequently used during our gatherings.
Recorded with Care
Many of these recordings, including those for Shabbat morning, were lovingly crafted by former B’nei Mitzvah Coordinator, Jessie Lunk. Rabbi Greyber has also contributed recordings featuring melodies sourced from various corners of the Jewish world. These recordings are meticulously harmonized and embellished with instruments, ensuring a complete and immersive musical experience for our community.
A Tapestry of Tradition
Please note that some recordings originate from esteemed institutions such as Camp Ramah and Ikar-LA, adding depth and diversity to our musical repertoire.
