A new way to welcome Shabbat!  Join us for a catered Shabbat dinner and learn from our special guest speaker, Dr. Nolan Gasser. Dr. Gasser, a former congregant and friend of Rabbi Kramer, is a composer, pianist, author and musicologist – most notably, the architect of Pandora Radio’s Music Genome Project. His best-selling 2019 book Why You Like It: The Science and Culture of Musical Taste, is also the focus of his PBS special. Dr. Gasser will help us understand Jewish music’s unique attributes and emotional appeal, from cantillation to klezmer.
