We invite you to come and pray, reflect, sing, and rejoice with us! Music features prominently in Society Hill Synagogue’s Shabbat and holiday services, in Havdalah and other celebrations. Sometimes with instruments we play, sometimes with our voices as the only instrument – always with soul.
Here, you will find almost 50 prayers, blessings, and songs to enhance your Society Hill Synagogue experience. Please click below to select tunes by holiday or ceremony.
