RCVP and Songleader Resources
NFTY-CAR’s year-long Songleading Va’ad needs you! Participation in the Va’ad is open to anyone in 9th-12th grade with an interest in songleading. No prior experience is required and you don’t have to play the guitar or be musically proficient. A willingness to learn and actively participate throughout the year is the only requirement. The Va’ad will offer opportunities to get involved in songleading at 2009-2010 NFTY-CAR events. Additionally, we’ve created other opportunities to get hands on songleading experience at programs and at congregations throughout the Chicago Jewish community all year long.
