SELAH
Press small triangle above the arrow to hear a recent service with Kol Halevi’im (Selah to appear here soon)
Placed in charge of the Temple’s ritual matters, the levites’ (Levi’im) functions included support to the priests and all the vocal and instrumental music of the Temple worship. “Selah” is a term found in Psalms that refers to the musical interpretation and magnification of worship text entrusted to the levites. SELAH is a group of young musicians, mostly guitar players and singers, 6th through 12th grade. This extraordinary opportunity gives each student the additional skills and confidence as a leader of prayer. It also allows each participant an opportunity to use their developing talents as singers and instrumentalists. Directed by Cantor Goldstein and Nationally acclaimed Composer and Song Leader Alan Goodis, this group performs regularly at Shabbat Evening Family Services, Weekday T’fillah in the Religious School, the Holy Days and special events throughout the school year.
