This Shabbat is called Shabbat Shirah, because the Torah Reading contains the song sung by Israel after the splitting of the Reed Sea, and in the Haftarah, the Song of Deborah sung after the victory against Sisera.  This week, The Song of the Sea will be sung by Ben Rosenberg on the 30th Anniversary of his singing it on his Bar Mitzvah, and the Song of Deborah, by Angela Gluck.

It has become a custom to have a very musical service, and this year  Anthony Phillips will join Stephen Cotsen on the Bimah for a programme of duets throughout Musaf. If you can’t attend in person, you can download the Programme and the Score for Miriam’s Song on this pdf.
