High Holy Days
High Holy Days with Congregation Emeth
As your Jewish home and family in the South Valley, we welcome all to join us as together we celebrate and observe these special Holy days. We offer a variety of programs and services to meet the needs of our diverse community. Please see the schedule below for a list of dates and times.
Joining Rabbi Faith Joy Dantowitz to lead our High Holy Day services will be Cantor Richard Schwartz and accompanist Chip Colvin.
Cantor Richard Schwartz has passionately served Jewish communities and individuals as a spiritual leader, cantor, and Jewish educator for over thirty years. Recognized by many as a dynamic and soulful worship leader, life-cycle officiant, B’nai Mitzvah mentor, teacher of Torah, choral director, songwriter, performer, composer, and arranger, Cantor Schwartz strives to inspire people of all ages to know God through prayer, words, action, and song.
Chip Colvin earned his Bachelor's Degree in Piano Performance with minors in Choral Conducting and Vocal Performance at a small liberal arts college in Houston, TX. He then went on to earn his Master's Degree from the University of Southern California in Keyboard Collaborative Arts.
With a breadth and depth of experience, Chip brings a wealth of knowledge and ability to his musical pursuits. Accomplished as a pianist, accompanist, conductor, coach, and teacher, he enriches his collaborators and students with both a commitment to excellence and a sincere joy in the acts of creating and learning.
