Learn Our Melodies

Home > Ritual Life > Learn Our Melodies

Congregation Dorshei Emet thrives on congregant participation. If you’re interested in learning how to chant Torah or haftarah, please contact the office and we can set you up with a tutor. If we have enough interest during a given semester, we can put together a class.

To learn to read megillah on Purim, please see Purim in the Holidays section.

If you’re new to the congregation or you’d like to learn how to lead services, the below audio files will help you become familiar with the melodies we use in our services. Page references from the Siddur Hadesh Yameinu and duration are listed next to the song title.
