Shavuot: An Evening of Learning - Saturday, May 26 - 8 PM

Shavuot is the time of receiving of the Torah. Each year it is customary to try to duplicate some of the excitement and joy and once again re-discover our roots in the Torah. We study, discuss, debate and learn on all different levels, joining together as our ancestors did at Sinai.

Come and take part in any or all of this exciting approach to celebrating Shavuot on Saturday, May 26 starting at 8 PM. Refreshments will be served.

Hazzan Shoshana Abrams To Join Congregation Ahavath Sholom on Tuesday, July 10

Martis Herman chaired the synagogue’s committee in conducting a search for a Cantor/Education Director. Following numerous meetings, reviews of resumes and Skype interviews, the committee selected two candidates to visit Fort Worth for a more in-depth and personal interview. The result of this process was the offer of a contract to Cantor Shoshana Abrams.

Cantor Abrams holds a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Music from the University of California, Santa Barbara, a Master of Arts in Sacred Music and a Master of Arts in Jewish Education from The Jewish Theological Seminary of America. She has had previous experience as a student cantor at congregations in Ohio and in New Jersey while also gaining teaching experience in New York. Cantor Abrams has lived in California and New York, and is a world-wide traveler.

In addition to her cantorial responsibilities, Cantor Abrams will function as the Education Director of Congregation Ahavath Sholom’s Religious School. Cantor Abrams will begin her tenure at the synagogue on July 10th. President Marvin Beleck is excited about the new professional team, the future direction of Ahavath Sholom, and knows that the community will provide a warm Texas welcome to Cantor Abrams.
