7:00 p.m. “Harmonia Shabbat” is Cantor Ruti Braier’s newest musical service that will feature beautiful harmonies sung by her and University Synagogue members Amy Ganser, Steven Hirsch and Zach Nelson.  The Cantor’s intention is to create, from time to time, an exciting, spiritually moving service that will focus on special melodies and that will include various members and other singers. 

In addition, singer/songwriter Daniel Nahmod, a University Synagogue favorite, will offer “A Shabbat of Contemporary Music” in this service, led by Rabbi Rachlis and Cantor Braier.  Over the years, Daniel has shared his moving and beautiful music with us at several Shabbat services and Selichot.  He wants to be with us before Rabbi Rachlis becomes Rabbi Emeritus.

Daniel has performed his profound, heart-opening original music for over one million people and has sold over 100,000 CDs. His poetic and evocative message of peace, love and compassion across all nations, cultures and faiths has found overwhelming acceptance wherever he has performed.

He has been featured on numerous cable and radio broadcasts in over 90 countries, at cultural festivals, interfaith and environmental fairs, workshops and conferences, youth rallies, 9/11 services, and as a keynote musical presenter at benefits for such organizations as Habitat For Humanity and the Anti-Defamation League. He has presented his music and message for nearly all the world's major faiths, including Jewish, Christian, Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, Bahai, and Mormon audiences.  Sponsored by Dr. Miriam Piven Cotler.
