The Whole Megillah! Classes led by Cantor Elias Roochvarg

Beginning Wednesday, February 8, 2012

Join us for classes in reading from the Megillah. Classes will take place on four Wednesday nights: February 8, 15, 22 and 29 after Minyan. We read it every year. Start to finish….from an actual Megillah (scroll). And it has its own trope (melody), used for no other text. But we need more folks to participate. To that end, I will be teaching this fun skill to all who wish to acquire it.  All you need is the ability to read Hebrew, and to carry a tune. Call the Clergy Office 704-362-2796, or email me at eroochvarg@templeisraelnc.org to reserve your spot.
