Central Synagogue

When we gather together for a sacred purpose, we endure.

Worship

Music of Central Synagogue

Organ

Central Synagogue has been blessed with a long and rich musical history. Over the years our cantors and musical directors have helped shape the experience of worship at Central Synagogue and throughout the larger Reform movement as well. As our community grows and changes, our melodies and musical arrangements reflect our evolving identity.
