Welcoming Shabbat with V'Shamru at Ottawa's Kehillat Beth Israel Congregation

Kehillat Beth Israel is simultaneously Ottawa’s oldest and newest congregation. While its legacy congregations have more than 100 years of history, Kehillat Beth Israel Congregation was founded on July 1st, 2016 through the amalgamation of Agudath Israel Congregation and Congregation Beth Shalom. The congregation has become “stronger together” and has become a flagship congregation for Canada’s National Capital Region.

A native of Montreal, Canada, Cantor Jason Green (lyric tenor) began singing at age 6 as a child soprano in his Synagogue’s choir.  He became its conductor at age 15, under the tutelage of Stephen Glass. He continued his vocal development and knowledge of repertoire by joining the Shaar Hashomayim Synagogue Choir in 1992, soon afterwards becoming its associate conductor.

Enjoy, and Shabbat shalom!
