Our Artist-In-Residence Program welcomes a talented artist to Temple Judea each year. 

2023-2024 Artist-In-Residence: Joe Buchanan 

The year for Shabbat Shirah, we will welcome Artist-in-Residence Joe Buchanan, a Texas-born and southern-raised, Joe Buchanan country music artist whose music highlights the values, Torah, and history of the Jewish people. Save the date for the weekend of February 7-9, 2025, and stay tuned for more about this special weekend of performance in the months ahead.

2023-2024 Artist-In-Residence: Michael Ochs

The theme for this years' pre-Shabbat Shira Artist-in-Residence weekend is "Music & Creation."  A multi-platinum, award-winning songwriter, Michael Ochs is also universally recognized as a leading composer of Jewish and Interfaith worship music. During this artist-in-residency, Michael will be premiering a new song commissioned for our community in partnership with Rabbi Cantor Alison Wissot. We feel honored and proud to welcome him to Temple Judea to share his immense talent with us.
