Seth Marlon Ettinger will be ordained as a Hazzan (Cantor) from the Academy for Jewish Religion California in May 2014. A student of Hazzanut and Jewish music for most of his life, Seth has been experimenting with new musical settings for the Shabbat liturgy since his Bar Mitzvah back in 1996. A little over a year ago, Seth was invited to present some of his new musical selections at the Los Angeles Jewish Music and Film Festival held at Sinai Temple in Beverly Hills. To offer a proper presentation, Seth sought to form a band with musicians recommended from a dear friend. The result was YA’ALEH. The band had an award winning performance which has since spawned a number of Shabbat Services at Synagogues around California and thanks in part to Temple Beth Sholom, YA’ALEH released their self-titled album in July 2013. Seth is now serving as the Cantorial Intern at Wilshire Boulevard Temple in Los Angeles where his music can be heard on Friday Night and Saturday Mornings and YA’ALEH will starting preliminary work on their second album in January 2014. For more information about YA’ALEH we invite you to email the band at sethettinger@rocketmail.com Copies of the album are available for purchase in the temple gift shop and a portion of a every copy sold will be donated back to Temple Beth Sholom.
