What are the responsibilities and job description for the Cantor position at Beth Sholom Synagogue?
Our 40-member historic congregation in western Pennsylvania is searching for a Cantor for the coming High Holidays (2022). Our candidate (male or female) must be thoroughly conversant with the HEBREW liturgy (we use the reform prayerbook Gates of Repentance 1978 as well as the Silverman High Holiday prayer book, which we use on Kol Nidre Eve and Yom Kippur afternoon - Mincha). He or she must be able to read Hebrew fluently and also love leading a congregational group in singing of the traditional and familiar, old-time melodies. This could possibly be a remote position via Zoom. Please respond with a resume and sample recording.
