Temple Emanuel of Andover is thrilled to announce that Dan Nichols, one of Reform Judaism’s most sought-after performers and an influential composer of today’s modern Jewish soundtrack will be an artist-in-residence from Friday, May 17 – Sunday, May 19. A special Havdalah service and concert will be open to the entire community, on Saturday, May 18 starting at 7:00 pm at Temple Emanuel, 7 Haggetts Pond Road, Andover, MA. Tickets for the Saturday concert are available at <a href="https://www.templeemanuel.net/dannichols%20" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">www.templeemanuel.net/dannichols </a>.
“We are thrilled to be hosting Dan Nichols, a product of the Union for Reform Judaism and the Jewish camping movement, for a wonderful weekend in May. We look forward to bringing Temple Emanuel members and the greater community together to listen and sing along with the beloved, dynamic Dan, our wonderful clergy and Temple leaders for an unforgettable havdalah and concert,” said Marcy Shack, Temple Emanuel Board Member who is organizing this event through the generous donation of the Shack Family Fund. 
Dan Nichols toured North America for the last 22 years. A classically trained singer, Dan received his Bachelor of Music degree in vocal performance at the University of North Carolina. In 1995, realizing the potential of music to make powerful connections with Jewish youth, Dan established the Jewish rock band Eighteen. Since that time, Dan and Eighteen have released 13 albums. Dan frequently serves as artist-in-residence and teacher for congregations and camp communities. He has served on the faculty of Hava Nashira since 2001. In 2009, he co-founded Shulhouse Rock, a song leading workshop for Jewish high-school students. He has performed live in Israel at the historic fortress of Masada and in the studio for the groundbreaking XM Radio presentation of Radio Hanukkah.
The Artist-in-Residence Weekend with Dan Nichols will start on Friday, May 17 with Shabbat Unplugged – an upbeat, music-filled service for all ages. On Saturday, May 18 Dan will lead a Shabbat study session for Temple Emanuel members only. Non-members are invited to a high energy Havdalah and concert at 7:00 pm with a desert reception to follow. <a href="https://templeemanuel.net/dan-nichols-artist-in-residence-weekend/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Tickets</a> are $18 for non-members over age 18 and free for non-members 18 and under. The Temple Emanuel religious school students will then enjoy a sing-along with Dan on Sunday, May 19.
