L’Chaim!
A Celebration of America
Shabbat Worship Service
Temple Emanu-El invites you to a musical celebration honoring the Jews who helped shape this nation as we toast 250 years of American independence.
Join Cantor Sara Anderson and Broadway performers Jenny Lee Stern (Rocky: The Musical, Forbidden Broadway) and Cooper Grodin (The Phantom of the Opera national tour, Masquerade), for a mini-concert featuring beloved selections from the Jewish American songbook.
Highlights include Irving Berlin’s “God Bless America”, Neil Diamond’s “America“, Frank Sinatra’s “The House I Live In” and Jay and the Americans’ “Only in America,” produced, directed and hosted by Scott Siegel, creator of Town Hall’s Broadway by the Year series.
With special readings and prayer, we will celebrate America’s Semiquincentennial with Jewish flair!
