Adult Choir
Congregation Shearith Israel has its own “Voice of Joy” in its men’s a cappella group, Kol Rina – which means a voice or shout of joy. Those of us who have had experienced their singing at services on Friday night or Shabbat morning know that their voices add joy and energy our worship experience.
These volunteers practice each week under the direction of Cantor Itzhak Zhrebker. It’s obvious that they enjoy singing with one another and take delight in enhancing our services. Be sure to attend one or more services at which Kol Rina participates. If you are interested in joining and becoming part of Kol Rina, please contact Cantor Zhrebker at CantorZ@shearith.org.
