Temple Beth Am, 871 North Main St., Randolph, will welcome back Sue Horowitz and EJ Cohen in a musical Shabbat residency, sponsored by the Arnold and Leona Rubin Adult Education Committee and TBA Outreach, Friday, Oct. 17 and Shabbat on Saturday, Oct. 18.
Horowitz is a Jewish singer-songwriter from the rocky coast of Maine. Her voice combines the alto tones of Karen Carpenter with the soulfulness of Bonnie Raitt.
Cohen is a nationally certified ASL interpreter and holds MA degrees in Deaf Education and Jewish Education, and is considered the premier sign interpreter of Jewish music today.
Together, they create melodies and visual prayer, a partnership of sight and sound.
Prior to musical Friday night services at 7:30 p.m., dinner will be served at 6 p.m. For dinner reservations, which are required ($15 per adult, $10 per child and a maximum $40 per family with children), contact 781-963-0440 before Oct. 10.
Shabbat morning services begin at 9:15 a.m., during which time Horowitz and Cohen will offer music and visual prayer. Services will be followed by a kiddush luncheon, after which the two guests will lead a discussion class.
At 5:30 p.m., a light supper and brief evening service will be held, followed by a musical havdalah service. Let the office know by Oct. 9 if you plan to attend to plan accordingly for food.
All programs will be interpreted for the deaf.
