Music

Music plays a vital part in the life of OZS. We love to sing at all services, have often enjoyed the music of our volunteer choir at high holidays, and enjoy bringing in visiting Jewish musicians. Rabbi Abramowitz sends a weekly song out to the congregation and leads us in regular Song Circle sessions to learn new niggunim together. A selection of the music that the rabbi has compiled for the congregation can be found in the playlist above.

Additionally, a member of the Ohavay Zion congregation, Rafi Finkel, has recorded a wide variety of items for services, including some niggunim that are unique to OZS. They can be found at the following links:
