Introduction

Imagine that long after inviting a musical artist to your Jewish center or synagogue, your community had much more to show for the visit than memories of a nice concert from a distant musician. When Linda Hirschhorn concludes her weekend with your community, she leaves your chorus with an expanded repertoire of inspiring and original Jewish music. And communities previously without a chorus now have one in the wake of her visit. Often, these new choruses are composed of members of one or several congregations in a single area.
