Musical Service Leading

I have spent much of my time at my student pulpits not only speaking, but leading prayer through song. Here are some highlights from a recent Friday night service at my current student pulpit, Congregation Emanu-El of Westchester.

Composing

I am proud to be the first HUC-JIR student to participate in Cantorial coaching while studying in the Rabbinic program. I hope that I can add to our rich musical tradition through my own musical interpretations of our sacred liturgy.
