Cantor Gail Hirschenfang
Joins Temple Beth El Staff
ELIZABETH KAPLAN
Features Editor
C
antor Gail Hirschen-
fang remembers how
much she loved music
when she was a little girl. She
remembers hearing her
father and grandfather sing
Jewish songs at the dinner
table and the sound of music
filling the synagogue. But she
does not remember any
women on the bimah of that
synagogue.
"I particularly enjoy serv-
ing as a role model for young
girls," Cantor Hirschenfang
writes in the most recent
issue of the Reform monthly
Keeping Posted. "No one in
my congregation should grow
up with the image I did of a
young woman singing only
from the first row rather than
the bimah."
Cantor Hirschenfang will
be singing from the bimah of
Temple Beth El when she
joins the temple staff this
summer. She will become the
temple's first full-time cantor.
For the past six years, Can-
tor Hirschenfang has served
at Temple Beth Zion in Buf-
falo, N.Y. She also worked for
two years in Baltimore. She
holds a bachelor's degree in
mathematics from the State
University of New York, and
a bachelor's and master's
degree from the Hebrew
Union College School of
Sacred Music.
Cantor Hirschenfang's love
of music extends to folk and
classical — Mozart is her
favorite. She recently per-
formed Mozart's "Bella Mia
Fiamma" and Ravel's "Deux
Melodies Hebraiques" with
the Buffalo Philharmonic
Orchestra.
It was less than a grand
symphony hall and no or-
chestra was in sight, but Can-
tor Hirschenfang's concert
