The couple that sings prayers together, stays together.
That’s the premise of Temple Sinai of Roslyn Heights’ upcoming event, “Cantors in Love: A Delightful Evening of Song,” which will take place June 14 at 7 p.m.
Three couples who practice as cantors — including Temple Sinai’s Sergei and Elena Schwartz — will perform a mix of religious songs, American and European love songs and Broadway show tunes.
“The choice of music will be both original and varied, and the thread of AHAVAH (love) is woven throughout the program,” Elena Schwartz said in an e-mail.
Also performing are David Perper, a cantor at Beth Haverim Shir Shalom in Mahwah, N.J., and his wife, Faith Steinsnyder, a profesor at Hebrew Union College and the Jewish Theological Seminary, as well as Jeffrey Stock, the chaplain for the Simon C. Fireman Community in Randolph, Mass., and his wife, Hollis Schachner, the cantor at Temple Shir Tikva in Wayland, Mass.
“Throughout the concert, the cantors will sing about their love for Shabbat, the land of Israel and, of course, with one another as husband and wife,” Schwartz said.
A reception will take place following the concert.
