Cantor Galeet Dardashti to lead Rosh HaShanah Services

Cantor Galeet Dardashti Returns to Beth El for Rosh HaShanah and Yom Kippur     

Cantor Galeet Dardashti will lead the community in prayer and song for the High Holy Days at Congregation Beth El in South Orange starting at 8:00pm on Sunday evening, September 16. Cantor Dardashti will join Rabbi Francine Roston for a warm, engaging, traditional service. Together they will lead High Holy Day services that offer our community time to sit and sing together, learn and listen together.  It is a time-honored tradition at Beth El to include adults, teens and as many people as possible to help lead services.     

Galeet has most recently led Storahtelling's High Holy Day services in Manhattan, was the High Holy Day and monthly cantor for Congregation Beth Elohim in Park Slope, Brooklyn, and previously served as the cantor at Congregation Shomrei Emunah in Montclair.
