Chanting Torah at Temple Ohabei Shalom

At Temple Ohabei Shalom, we teach students the melody for Torah cantilation known as Avery/Binder. The naming system we use for the trope symbols was developed by Cantor Kim Singer and experience has shown that students pick it up more quickly. The system was further developed by Cantor Randall Schloss while he was at TOS and his voice can be heard in the recordings below.
