Below you will find information to keep you informed about the music program at TBO. In addition, please click on the links for Jewish music resources and listen to some of the wonderful melodies by the original artists that can be heard by our musical mavens and musicians.
History: The Music Committee was a sub-committee of Religious Practices & Music and was formed in 2004. The music sub-committee’s function was to assist Cantor Susan Weiss with enhanced musical worship, as well as provide and implement musical programs designed to encourage participation from any capable temple member willing to share his/her musical talents. In 2009, all sound issues were added to the music sub-committee's responsibilities including sound system equipment and maintenance. When Cantor Weiss announced her retirement, the leadership started a search for a cantorial soloist. During the search, it was voted and approved that all music and sound issues would fall back under Religious Practices & Music, under the guidance of Rabbi Gross, effective January 1, 2011. Diane Trivelli was Chair of this committee from May 2004-January 2011. Judi Sitkin is the current chair of RP&M.
