Kehillah Kedoshah

In the past few months, Cantor Clissold and members of our temple youth group have introduced several new songs. During Shir Chadash, our monthly musical service led by the Cantor and teen musicians, we heard Dan K. lead the song "Kehillah Kedoshah." This song was written and originally performed by Dan Nichols, one of the top songwriter/singers in Reform circles today.

Camp Harlam has been hosting Dan Nichols for the past two days. Tonight, I had the chance to join Carmel (youngest campers) and Arava (7th graders) for an intimate Dan Nichols concert in the "New Beit" auditorium/gymnastics arena. I recognized his second song immediately:


Another great thing about camp: exposure to so much music, so many songs, so many new melodies for worship. I'll need to email the cantor and songleaders from this session to remember them all!
