Torah Karaoke - Temple Adas Shalom, the Harford Jewish Center

TEMPLE ADAS SHALOM-HARFORD JEWISH CENTER INTRODUCES TORAH KARAOKE

Torah Karaoke is a whole new approach to the weekly Torah reading. It was created and pioneered by Temple Adas Shalom-Harford Jewish Center, Havre de Grace, Maryland. Torah Karaoke illustrates and interprets the Torah reading through evocative visual images. B’nai Mitzvah, Sisterhood Shabbat, and High Holiday services have all featured this innovative technique.

The following Torah Karaoke presentations (the “Presentations”) are available for use, including linking to our website, by any educational or religious organization. *
