Shabbat Shira is a special name given to the Shabbat on which we read the Torah Portion Beshalach.

In this portion, the Israelites crossed the sea, and once on the other side, sing songs of gratitude. It is traditional to offer special musical programs each year on this Shabbat.

Past programs have included presentations of new musical compositions by Jewish Composers, many from the Los Angeles area.  Additionally, music has been been presented by the Valley Beth Shalom choir, Composer and Cellist Robert Een, VBS Music Director Chris Harden and his Jazz Trio, VBS Cantors Phil Baron and Herschel Fox, and others.
