On Sunday, April 24 at 7:30 p.m., enter the inspiring world of Cantor Rhoda J. Harrison for an engaging musical evening at M’Kor Shalom filled with a program of Israeli music that spans the country’s rich history, offering a taste of its musical character, and lending a voice towards peace.
Harrison has a celebrated career of serving as both Cantor and Rabbi over the past 30 years. She is currently a member of the clergy at M’kor Shalom as Cantor. She also performs operatic, art song and theatre literature in addition to her cantorial repertoire, performing on the concert stage throughout the United States. She will be accompanied by Tom Adams, Bob Bross and Alan Salkowitz.
Israel is a stunningly beautiful country that despite being mired in political and military conflict for its entire existence is still a place where many across the world feel at home and find spiritual connection. Israel is also a place of great artistic creativity, and music is an integral part of its national identity. Throughout Israel’s complicated history, composers of all musical genres have sought to combine both Jewish and non-Jewish elements to create a distinctive musical culture.
“I am excited to share this engaging evening – I hope everyone feels embraced and immersed by Israel’s rich musical culture,” said Harrison.

It will be offered both in-person and online. $18/person in attendance; $18/device for remote participants. Online registration is required via the M’kor Shalom website mkorshalom.org.
