Allstate Insurance Company, Northbrook, IL ©2009 Allstate Insurance Company Music is Central to Worship at Or Olam in Cabarrus County The gentle drumming of fingers on the darbouka drum accompa nies the lilting singing of a word less melody. The “nigoon” is at once relaxing and mesmerizing. By the time the prayer begins, congregants have been drawn into a spiritual frame of mind. Now, they are truly ready to welcome the Sabbath. This is the power of music. Throughout our Jewish history, music has been used to praise, reflect, rejoice and pray together. The psalms were meant to be sung, not recited responsively. Temple Or Olam honors Jewish musical traditions by incorporat ing music into all services, holi- Harvey Smith The Ultimate Career Worksho NEW Sessions Starting in June and July!

Sephardic, Ashkenazi, Mizrachi, Israeli, and American Jewish music are all part of the repertoire. We also create new traditions. In addition ^ to the hand drum and S singing, Friday night prayers are usually accompanied by a cou ple of guitarists, a teenage bassist who plays Pink Floyd songs when she’s not playing at services, and, often, a teenage accordionist or piano player Some other instruments you might hear at services are violin, flute, cello, or, even rain stick. The music sets the mood, alternately joyful and contemplative. But music is not a spectator sport at Temple Or Olam. Before many services, a basket of rhythm instruments is passed around, and children and adults alike grab tambourines, maracas, and the ever-popular “shaky eggs,” all of which turn upbeat melodies into a party. Of course there is also the instrument that each congregant brings with him or her - the voice. This is not a congregation that sits silently while a rabbi or cantor sings prayers. Voices ring out, often in rounds taught by the chil dren, who learned them at reli- o 0 gious school. It doesn’t matter if your voice is opera quality or “singing in the shower” quality; it’s welcome here. Torah portions are chanted on the fourth Friday of every month. (On the second Friday we hold a shorter, child- centered service.) ® Sometimes the melody 3 is the familiar trope that you hear at many American synagogues, but other times you might hear Baghdadi trope, a Middle Eastern melody with a very dif ferent sound, exotic to western ears. If you’re interested in hearing more of the music of Temple Or Olam, there are two CDs available for purchase: “Likrat Shabbat,” a collection of Shabbat songs, and “Musika Olam,” a selection of Jewish world music. But the best way to experience the music is to join us for a serv ice. Services are held the 2nd and 4th Fridays of the month, at 7 PM at McGill Baptist Church in Concord. For information on services, or to order CDs, please visit our website, www.or-olam.org, email us at info@or-olam.org, or call 704-720-7577. ^ Please Join House Republican Whip ERIC CANTOR y For a Luncheon & Keynote Address Honoring Congresswoman Sue Myrick Monday, June 22 ♦ 11:30 AM - 1:00 PM The Westin - 601 South College Street, Charlotte, NC 28202 $50 Per Person / $75 Per Couple RSVP to 704-332-5200 or www.suemyrick.com Paid for by Sue Myrick for Congress Not Printed at Government Expense
