| Music is an integral part of our religious
services as well as our Temple life. We join in song during our services
with our Temple Choir. We are indeed blessed with a choir of thirty voices
with four professional vocalists and an organist. Under its founder, Florence
Katz, it has achieved a position as one of the leading choral groups on
the West Coast of Florida.
The choir participates in all holiday
and Friday night Shabbat Services and performs at least one special concert
for the congregation and members of the community annually. Among other
appearances, it is the major choral group at Longboat Key’s Annual Interfaith
Service.
