Shira Kline is an internationally acclaimed performance and ritual artist, recognized as a revolutionary educator and named one of the new re-engineers of Jewish life today. She is a weaver of sacred story and song, known on the kiddie rock stage as ShirLaLa and in the sanctuary as a spiritual adventurist. Shira tours extensively locally and globally with a vibrant invitation to audiences of all ages to connect, bringing ritual and art together for a new and realized conscious world. Shira will be with us Friday, November 12-Sunday, November 14 for a weekend of creative and inspiring musical experiences in honor of retiring veteran preschool teacher, Ms. Lauren Mahady. Ms. Lauren, our beloved music teacher of 35 years and founding member of Temple Sinai Preschool, inspired a generation of music makers to make the world more beautiful.
