[rabbi.taunton <rabbi.taunton...>]

Shabbat Shalom. 
I am a rabbinicial student at The Academy for Jewish Religion (AJR) in 
Riverdale, New York. I'm also a cantor (ACC & CA) and "the rabbi" at 
Congregation Agudath Achim in Taunton, MA.

I thought the following program from the Academy would be of interest to 
everyone, but especially the NYC area HaNashir community.
Cantor Anne Heath

*************
The Academy for Jewish Religion, founded in 1956, was established through the 
vision of rabbis and scholars committed to fulfilling a pluralistic vision of 
Judaism--to create a place of Torah where divergent views and practices exist 
in fruitful dialogue.

AJR is housed at the campus of the College of Mount Saint Vincent in Riverdale 
(the Bronx) NY (Riverdale Avenue and 263rd).
