We are thrilled that Cantor Margery Auerbach will be our special guest speaker at our first general meeting which will be held on Monday, October 23rd at Kahler Hall at 7:30 p.m. Her presentation ‘Jewish Music around the World", will focus on the rich variety of music sung in the many countries around the world where Jews have lived. In addition to Sephardic music from Spain, France and Italy, Cantor Auerbach will present songs from Morroco, Turkey, Iraq and Uganda. Some music will be from various artists on CD; other music will be sung.

Cantor Margery Auerbach graduated from Maalot Cantorial Seminary in 1998 after a 30 year career in education, including positions as teacher trainer and elementary school principal. She has been the cantor at Bet Aviv in Columbia, since 2001. Cantor Auerbach also serves as Judaic Consultant to Am Kolel Judaic Resource Center in Rockville where she conducts weddings, Bar and Bat Mitzvahs, baby namings and funerals. Most of our families are of Ashkenazic origin and most of our synagogue music is also Ashkenazic. Come here music from the rest of the Jewish world!
