Shedding New Light on Jewish Traditions

Prayers

 

Singing is an important part of our services at Or Hadash. Click on the links below to hear recordings made by Rabbi Alanna Sklover and our former Rabbi Joshua Waxman of some of the standard melodies used at Or Hadash for common prayers on Friday and Saturday nights. These recordings can also be helpful to students preparing for b'nei mitzvah, as well as anyone wishing to hear Reconstructionist liturgy and melodies.
