Sunday

Jewish music covers Los Angeles today. City folk should consider “Scenes of Worship: A Musical Celebration of Passover” at the Autry Museum. Passover and Women’s History Month share the thematic course of this concert of women cantors, and one token male. Or, for those living out West, Temple Adat Elohim welcomes the Moscow Male Jewish Choir, aka Hasidic Cappella, to the Canyon Club. Their repertoire includes classical Jewish liturgy and humorous American folk. Take your pick this evening.

“Scenes of Worship”: 6:30 p.m. $8-$18. Autry National Center, 4700 Western Heritage Way, Los Angeles. (323) 667-2000, ext. 354.

Monday

The girls of Ohr Haemet Institute prove that you don’t need a male lead to put on a show. Today, they present their for-women-by-women tsnius-approved production, “Chaverim,” which focuses on the theme of unity. With the help of their theater director, Elianah Mendlowitz, the girls have learned dance moves and songs for the musical. Women are invited to come and support this play about Jewish girls from around the world.

7:30 p.m. $10-$15. Emerson Middle School, 1650 Selby Ave., Los Angeles. (310) 854-3006.
