Shalom Chaverim,
Until the Beth’s website will be updated, please use this webpage, and get ready for the upcoming High Holidays services.

Cantor Berkovits’s letter to the Beth Israel Family for Rosh HaShana 5775:Edd Berkovits - Beth Israel Halifax cantor

It is a pleasure to be back in Halifax as your High Holiday cantor.  As members
of Beth Israel, Roz and I look forward to assisting the congregation as volunteers when
we are in town.
     For those who do not know, this was my first position as a professional cantor. Just
a quick review, in case you were wondering where we have been since leaving in
1971. I have been a cantor in all these cities: Halifax, Pittsfield, Omaha, Orlando,
where our son David was born,Charleston, where our son Adam was born, Cleveland,
Syracuse, Palm Beach Gardens, Coconut Creek, Boca Raton, Long Island and
Boynton Beach.
     Roz and I look forward to spending our first Yom Tov in 44 years at the Beth with our family and friends, old and new.  I think that it  is amazing to be able to complete my career here, where it first began.
       Wishing you all a Shana Tova umetuka. See you in shul and …remember to sing
along
