High Holy Days with Congregation Emeth
As your Jewish home and family in the South Valley, we welcome all to join us as together we celebrate and observe these special Holy days. We offer a variety of programs and services to meet the needs of our diverse community. We are grateful to be able to gather together in our sanctuary this year, and we encourage you to join us in person! Most of the events will also be available to be streamed online. Please see the schedule below for a list of dates and times.
Joining Rabbi Faith Joy Dantowitz to lead our High Holy Day services will be Cantor Richard Schwartz along with accompanist Chip Colvin.
Cantor Richard Schwartz has passionately served Jewish communities and individuals as a spiritual leader, cantor, and Jewish educator for over thirty years. Recognized by many as a
dynamic and soulful worship leader, life-cycle officiant, B’nai Mitzvah mentor, teacher of Torah, choral director, songwriter, performer, composer, and arranger, Cantor Schwartz strives to
inspire people of all ages to know God through prayer, words, action, and song.
A new transplant to the Bay Area, Chip Colvin recently took the position of resident Music Director at Backyard Kid’s Theater in Marin. He is thrilled to be back living on the west coast! Chip earned his Bachelor’s Degree in Piano Performance with minors in Choral Conducting and Vocal Performance at a small liberal arts college in Houston, TX. He then went on to earn his Master’s Degree from the University of Southern California in Keyboard Collaborative Arts. Chip has had a wide-ranging career as a pianist, conductor, teacher, and music director. He is grateful to be given the opportunity to share the HHD’s with Congregation Emeth!
