adult choir

The Adult Choir is made up of 25-35 people who love Jewish music and love to sing and schmooze. All genders welcome. Joining the choir is a great way to get involved in Temple life and meet new people. You do not need to be a "professional singer" in order to join and there are no auditions. However, you do have to love to sing and learn new music. Although the ability to read music is helpful, it is not required. The Adult Choir is open to all, no need to be a member of Temple Sinai.

The Adult Choir meets in-person most Tuesdays from 6:30 – 8:00pm in Albers Chapel.
