Save the dates, Wed 2nd - Mon 7th November 2022
Dear Friends,
With all the doom and gloom going on in the world, for which we pray for peace, let us share with you a little light – the next European Cantors Convention.
Called: ‘Invigorating Nusach for the 21st Century’, this is planned for Wednesday 2nd to Monday 7th November 2022 at the magnificent and recently refurbished Rumbach Synagogue, Budapest, Hungary, at the invitation of the Hungarian Jewish Community.
There will be study sessions, masterclasses, and joyous singing and praying together in harmony with open mike opportunities. There will be a Gala Concert on the evening of Sunday 6th November and the Convention ends on the Monday morning with an optional tour of Jewish Budapest and visit to a famous spa.
Over the last few years, we have all seen huge changes taking place in how we look at life surrounding our synagogues. Online services, concerts and programmes have uplifted, inspired and connected people wherever they live as never before. With the popularity of Zoom we have more choices available and the ability to visit congregations around the world virtually.
What we have witnessed, week in and week out, is that the public want and need tradition and music in their prayers. Cantors have been the heroes, coming up with innovative ideas to keep services fresh, sustain interest and keep communities together.
We at the European Cantors Association have made many new friends across the ether, widening our horizons. Zoom has given everyone from the many branches of Judaism the opportunity to join together to look at Jewish worship and the best way it can be expressed.
ECA values working with wonderful partners and associates: the Cantors Assembly, Cantors World, Milken Centre UCLA, International Forum for Jewish Music Studies, Edgware Synagogue, our Facebook friends and all those wonderful people who have agreed to take part in our conversations and conventions, and all those who have supported us.
The Convention is open to everyone, and we encourage not only cantors, but rabbis and synagogue lay leaders and congregants also to participate and to taste the joy of the atmosphere for which ECA is renowned.
We hope you will all join us in Budapest. Save the dates. More information after Pesach.
