Cantor Helzner (pictured in the front row fourth from the left) performed solo and in an ensemble with members of the Cantor’s Assembly Seaboard Region in a concert at Har Shalom. The concert, entitled, “A Journey Through S’farad,” was a musical voyage in preparation for the Cantor’s Assembly summer 2016 mission to Spain.

Also performing were Hinda Labovitz of Ohr Kodesh, Sara Geller of B’nai Shalom of Olney, Henrique Ozur Bass of Har Shalom, Elisheva Dienstfrey of Agudas Achim and Kim Komrad of Kehilat Shalom.

Cantors and their congregants will travel to Spain to delve into the past as well as to reach out to the Jewish communities of today. In addition to celebrating Sephardic culture and song, participants will visit museums and various cities.
