Sponsored by Erica and Robert Schwartz in memory of Nathalie Schacter Friedman and in honor of the bat mitzvah of their daughter, Gabby Schwartz.

What roles do the Ta'amim play in the Tanakh? How many kinds of trop (cantillation) are there? What does a Tikkun look like? How do we sing the trop? Learn about Torah reading and start singing Shma Yisrael the correct way! If you have always wanted to learn how to leyn but didn't know where to start, this is the workshop for you. Participants should be able to read and vocalize Hebrew text but no previous experience with trop is necessary.
