Temple Emanu-El has a strong music tradition.

Our volunteer choir, led by Cantor Judy Adelman Gershon, has been active since Temple’s Emanu-El's inception.

Their impressive repertoire includes Jewish liturgical, Ladino and Israeli music composed by European, American and contemporary Canadian composers. The choir participates in services on High Holidays, Festivals and presents special Erev Shabbat musical programs. 

Our religious school curriculum also has a strong musical component, which will be further enhanced in the coming years.
