Congregation Shaarai Shomayim will host vocalist and songwriter Hadar Orshalimy during its Miller Music Festival on Saturday, Jan. 7, at 7 p.m. in the sanctuary at Congregation Shaarai Shomayim's Temple, 75 E. James St., Lancaster. Hadar will also participate in Shabbat services on Friday, Jan. 6, at 7 p.m., also in the sanctuary.

Hadar Orshalimy is an acclaimed Israeli vocalist, songwriter, and cantorial soloist based in New York City. She released her debut jazz album "It Never Was You - Jazz by Jewish Songwriters" in 2019 to highlight the contribution of Jews to American music. Her follow-up jazz album, titled "Witchcraft - The Jewish Women of the Great American Songbook," is set for release in March and honors the woman songwriters of the great American songbook.

In 1991, Rosanne and David Selfon endowed the annual Miller Music Festival in memory of her parents, Madaline and Lester Miller. To perpetuate their love of music, the annual festival features nationally recognized Jewish musicians in concert. Each year, the weekend opens with a special Shabbat service on Friday night and culminates with a Saturday evening or Sunday afternoon performance.
