Shireinu is Temple Sinai's own Jewish choral ensemble. Shireinu was founded by Catherine Walters, ז׳׳ל, and is under the direction of Dr. Joel Gluck. 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.
The chorus has branched out, doing “Sermons in Song” and other concerts for Sinai congregants. The group has performed for the Rhode Island Chapter of Hadassah, Epoch Assisted Living Residence on the Eastside, The Phyllis Siperstein Tamarisk Assisted Living Residence, and Temple Shalom in Milford, Massachusetts. 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. Shireinu features 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 chorus rehearses at the Temple on Sundays during the school year from 9:30 A.M. - 12:00 P.M. Its members include men and women of varying ages — all who love to sing and share their joy of singing with others. Please contact Joel Gluck for information about joining the chorus or hiring the group for an event.
Shireinu membership is open to anyone who loves to sing!
