[quote=Anonymous]As a child, I attended a reform synagogue in Connecticut and the most memorable moments for me were the music produced by the organist and the (one man and one woman) cantors. I understand that the use of an organist in synagogues has gone out of fashion for being too "churchy" but I loved the almost symphonic settings of Jewish songs and prayers. Are there any synagogues in the Washington DC area that use an organ in their services? P.S. The use of the organ in Jewish services flourished in pre-Nazi Germany, but nearly all the organs were destroyed during Kristallnacht. http://holocaustmusic.ort.org/music0/organ-music/[/quote]
