August 2025 Shoresh Halev Center for Jewish Music at Beth El received an extraordinary gift: a fully restored 1904 Steinway Model B grand piano with a one of a kind Louis XIV art case, generously donated by Marc Bell Capital Partners. Delivered to Shoresh directly from the Steinway Restoration Factory, the instrument’s exceptional quality and craftsmanship is representative of Steinway’s state of the art pianos. Featuring gold leaf decoration and a distinctive hand-painted filigree design, the piano made its debut at Selichot services, where congregants experienced its remarkable beauty and sound. You may hear the piano played also in the video of Rabbi Bedo’s installation ceremony, link in the News article above.
