a female cantor? huh?

[cantorandopera]

@Shanniquitie As you will see from many of my postings I am a Cantorial Soloist - there have been female cantors who are ordained in the Reform Movement and I believe as well as the Conservative Movement. This has been going on for probably more than 30 years. In the Reform Movement we have equality for men and women performing mitzvahs (commandments) so we also have female Rabbis.

As always, I love your choice of music, your voice and the way it renders the music, and the video itself. I love the Hebrew text too, which happily I can read!

Can't sign in Hebrew characters this time at any length - I just consolidated all my data to my laptop (dumping the old PC) and my plug-in Hebrew-English keyboard hasn't arrived yet! But...Chag ha-Sukkot sameach alayikh! (I will be worshipping in Barbados during that time!)

I find myself wishing that with the vocal style you demonstrate here, you'd perform Suzanne Haik-Vantoura's arrangement of Isaiah 60:1-5, either wherever your liturgy allows it or in concert. The simple harp part would work well with the organ, and it and you together with the melody would send chills up the spine of those who heard it.

If you haven't seen my video based on SHV's recording of this text, you'll find it on "teamim", and maybe on "rakkav" too. I can e-mail you the score!
