Koleinu (Our Voices) is the 20 voice volunteer choir of Kahal Kadosh Beth Elohim. This group sings weekly for Sabbath worship services as well as Holy Days’ services and other temple events. The choir counts among its members many fine solo voices. Most of the choral music that is sung by the choir is in Hebrew, although some English songs are included. Koleinu sings many SATB arrangements of sacred Jewish music, both unaccompanied and with organ accompaniment. In June 2004, Koleinu will participate in the Piccolo Spoleto Festival of Churches and Synagogues.

The concert was spectacular and so inspiring. It was stunning!  The choir was fabulous -- the choral numbers majestic. Everyone is still raving. Thanks for all you do for KKBE. Indeed, Koleinu’s journey keeps getting better and better, and more amazing at each juncture.
