Taught by: Hazzan Shulamit Wise Fairman
Weekly on Thursdays from 7:15-8:45 pm, 8 sessions, in person only
Join Hazzan Shulamit for this eight week IN-PERSON only course to learn trope, the musical system for chanting Torah from the scroll. Students must plan to attend all sessions, and home practice between classes, multiple times a week, is required to keep up with the course. Carrying a tune is not required – If you are not sure if your voice is good enough, it is!
The goal of this course is to make you ready to independently prepare verses of Torah to chant. At Kehilla, there are opportunities throughout the year for community members to chant Torah.
Necessary Prerequisite:
You must be able to de-code Hebrew confidently and accurately: knowing the Hebrew Alef Bet letters and vowels and being able to sound out Hebrew words. Decoding Hebrew is completely integral to your study between classes and all our activities during class. If you would like to take the class, email Rabbi SAM to set up a 15 minute Hebrew decoding check in.
This class has a 15 student maximum. Participants in Kehilla’s Adult B’Mitzvah Program have priority. If the class fills up, we will start a wait list.
Please note: This class is not a drop-in course. Students must register for the full series.
