High School Graduation

May 22, 2009
At Anshe Emeth, we take great pride in knowing that our young members recognize the importance of a Jewish education beyond their bar or bat mitzvah. This year, 23 seniors graduated from our Hebrew High School. They gathered for a celebratory Shabbat dinner and posed for graduation photos. Then, as their proud parents beamed, they led the congregation in Shabbat worship before Rabbi Miller blessed them and sent them down from the bimah as graduates. Mazel tov to all of them!

Making a Joyful Noise

May 16, 2009

Our annual Simchat Zimrah is held every spring, and includes the best of Anshe Emeth's musical offerings throughout the year. The concert featured performances by the Junior Choir, Shirei Emeth (the high school students), Makhelat Anshe Emeth (adults), and the Awesome Family Service Band. We were also treated to special selections by our 6th graders (who are moving up from the Junior Choir into Shirei Emeth next year), our graduating seniors, and Piano Dave, our fabulous keyboard player.




The concert ended with all the choirs and the band "rocking the house" with the entire congregation joining in. It was our best Simchat Zimrah ever, and a fitting tribute to Cantor Anna West Ott's first ten years as Anshe Emeth's cantor. Cantor Ott is responsible for the creation of our high school choir and Awesome Band, and she has encouraged us all to the highest standards of musical accomplishment. Brava!!!
