Music for the High Holidays
In 2009, our cantor at the time, Margery Auerbach created this musical medley of High Holiday songs accompanied by Marian Smith Nee. As a special gift to our congregation, we each received a CD of these recordings. If you weren’t lucky enough to receive one, you can listen to these songs from this page. It’s a great way to get in the mood for the High Holidays.
