MEYEROWITZ for an uplifting FRIDAY NIGHT SERVICE at the JEWISH COMMUNITY CENTER Maple/Drake Bldg., Room 239 March 17, 1989 8:00 p.m. — KIDDISH TO FOLLOW — LIVELY DISCUSSION — WARM, CARING ATMOSPHERE 46 FRIDAY, MARCH 10, 1989 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 SYNAGOGUE SERVICES REFORM: BETH EL: Services 8 p.m. today.
