Thank You Caroll Goldberg!
Posted on January 14th, 2007 by cyberdov
Tonight’s Ramaz dinner honored the incomparable Caroll Goldberg, who is retiring as chair of the music and drama departments, where she has been for (if I have this right) 29 years. Caroll’s Kol Ram chorus was the first adult chorus that I sang with, before moving on to the Yiddish Jewish People’s Philharmonic Chorus. This year I was really pleased that I rejoined Kol Ram, and could participate in the knockout show at the dinner.
Caroll not only allowed me to develop my own singing ability, she also has made a tremendous difference in the lives of Elan and Daphna, through their involvement in the Ramaz chorus and chamber chorus. Caroll, we will miss you and we all wish you well!
Chalom, I consult your blog that I have found interessant for a few weeks. Do not hesitate to see mine over the subject about which you do not speak. We precisely speak only about Torah!
Mazel Tov Caroll!
We met at Camp Eisner and left the same day to begin Jewish music careers- I remember sitting at my parent’s kitchen table and my father called a Ramah director for us to get a job. Caroll’s Hebrew was better than mine, and she got the music director position that summer! I studied Yiddish music and hazzanut with a cantor in Greenwich and kept going in that field as well!
Nice to read good things about a talented friend from the past!
shalom,
