... Shireinu Sings ...

Shireinu is Temple Sinai's own Jewish choral ensemble now in its third season under the direction

of Catherine Walters. Shireinu, which means ‘our song,’ is a volunteer chorus of people who

love to sing for the sheer joy of it, and specializes in the presentation of Jewish choral music.

This year the chorus has branched out beyond doing “Sermons in Song” and other concerts for

Sinai congregants. The group has performed in 2009 for the RI Chapter of Hadassah, Epoch

Assisted Living Residence on the Eastside, and The Phyllis Siperstein Tamarisk Assisted

Living Residence. Shireinu has donated money from the honorariums received

from these performances to Temple Sinai.

Shireinu explores a wide variety of Jewish music in Hebrew, Yiddish, and Ladino, including settings

 taken from Bible and liturgy, folklore, and modern Jewish life, and featuring composers from the

Renaissance through contemporary times, all reflecting the many sources and streams of Jewish

tradition and experience that illuminate our unique heritage. Performances by Shireinu also include

an audience “sing-a-long” to add to the enjoyment of all.

The Mixed Voices of Shireinu

The chorus rehearses at the Temple, on Sundays during the school year, from 10-11:30 A.M. Its

members consist of men and women, of varying ages, who love to sing and share their joy of

singing with others. Please contact Catherine Walters, the director of Shireinu, at 401-419-7698

for information about joining the chorus or hiring the group for an event.
