CANTORS AND CHOIRS BRING ON THE LIGHT AT RODEPH SHOLOM’S CHANUKAH EXTRAVAGANZA
The Cantors and Choirs of Congregation Rodeph Sholom will
celebrate Chanukah, the Festival of Lights, during Shabbat services at 6 PM on

Rebecca Garfein, Cantor Shayna De Lowe, and the volunteer adult and children’s
choirs from the synagogue. This year, the first night of Chanukah is Tuesday,
December 20, 2011.

“Chanukah celebrates miracles and the power to overcome hardship,” according to
Congregation Rodeph Sholom’s Senior Cantor, Rebecca Garfein. “For many people in
our country, this has been an especially tough year. Chanukah can help remind us
all of the everyday miracles in our lives.”

Highlights of the service will include Peter Yarrow’s “Light One Candle,” and “Bring
On the Light,” a piece by composer, singer, and actor Danny Maseng that was
commissioned by Congregation Rodeph Sholom for Chanukah in 2001. The service will
also feature the Children’s Choir for grades 2-6 and the Junior Junior Choir, which
is for children from pre-kindergarten, kindergarten, and first grade.

Cantor Garfein will be joined by Rodeph Sholom’s Associate Cantor, Shayna De Lowe,
and Cantorial Intern Ben Ellerin. Accompanying the Cantors and Choirs will be
Rodeph Sholom’s organist, J. David Williams. Joining Mr. Williams will be John
Hadfield, percussion; Susan Rotholz, flute; Eliot Bailen, guitar and cello; and
Daniel Freeman, acoustic and electric bass.

The service is free of charge and open to the entire community.
