PHOTO:JEFF GILBERT 15th September 2022 Gareth Malone having written a bespoke piece of music together with Cantor Zoe Jacobs for this year’s High Holy Days. Rehearsing with 120 members of the community who have put themselves forward to be in Gareth’s FRS choir and during the Rosh Hashanah morning service (and again on Simchat Torah) Gareth will be turning the whole community into his choir, teaching everyone this new song and conducting so the community sing together.
