Music, as Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel taught, provides the catalyst for connecting the disparate elements of the finely woven tapestry of (Kevah) the fixed words of liturgy –and (Kavanah) our deepest, truest intentions to reach and serve God.  At North Shore Congregation Israel we search for ways to fill Kevah with Kavanah.  We explore the possibility that music can function in many ways including:

1)      Provide a deeper understanding of our sacred texts

2)      Resonate with our community

3)      Link us to our history

4)      Connect us to our co-religionists around the world

5)      Allow us to explore the awesome nature of God

6)      Create moments of introspection

7)      Give the entire assembly an opportunity to share with each other

8)      Deepen our relationships within our families

Here at NSCI you will find music infused into every aspect of our community’s life.  We invite you to join us on a sacred journey with music as our vehicle.
