Torah Cantillation
Cantor Shpall is teaching a Torah cantillation class this Spring. Have you ever wondered how we chant our holy texts?
We use a system called trope or cantillation which is a set of symbols placed above and below the Hebrew words. Once you
know trope, you can successfully learn to chant any Torah portion. It's fun and easy. You don't need to be a good singer or a
Hebrew scholar. All you need is a basic knowledge of Hebrew and the desire to learn something really cool.

    Bendalin Conference Room
    Sessions:
    Thursdays April 12, 19, and 26 and May 10, 17, 24 & 31
