Introducing Havurah’s New Music Coordinator: Ilene Safyan!
November 22, 2011
Music is a core value for Havurahniks.
Throughout the high holidays, music helped create the atmosphere and opportunity for prayer and reflection. During the “Operation Reconnect” process last year, many noted the importance of music as a way they initially connected with Havurah Shalom.
Your Steering Committee took that sentiment seriously. We amassed over $14,000 during the Mitzvah Moment at our bi-annual Auction to support a part-time Music Coordinator position. We recently advertised and interviewed many exceptionally qualified candidates.
We are delighted to announce that our very own Ilene Safyan was hired as our new Music Coordinator! Please note that the Music Coordinator is not a performance role (e.g., a resident chazzan). Rather, the purpose of the position is to locate, inspire, and train musicians to contribute to our community, and build a long-term, sustainable music program for Havurah Shalom.
Thank you for your support in getting us to this meaningful milestone in Havurah’s history!
