Former Bay City Cantor Finds
Itt-one-ment' At Seattle Temple
DAVID VOLK
Special to The Jewish News
I
t may not have happened
quite the way she wanted,
but a Michigan native
had a chance to realize a long-
time goal when she led her
own High Holiday services
this year.
"This has always been a
dream of mine," said former
Bay City resident Cantor
Marilyn Ladin, speaking of
the services she conducted
Rosh Hashanah at the Jewish
Community Center in subur-
ban Seattle.
"I'm excited; I'm nervous;
I'm scared. I pray that I am
going to be able to provide
people with the religious ex-
perience that they should
have" during the holidays,
Ladin said a week before the
beginning of Rosh Hashanah.
The situation was an unex-
pected change from the posi-
tion Cantor Ladin found
herself in last June, when her
three-year contract with a
Reform synagogue in Seattle,
11•2
■ 11111•11 ■ 1
Temple De Hirsch Sinai,
expired.
"It became evident when I
left De Hirsch Sinai that
there wasn't something for
me to fit into at that late
date," she said.
That is, until she discovered
that another congregation
had decided not to hold its
traditional overflow services
at the Jewish Center on
Mercer Island, a suburban
city just east of Seattle.
Knowing that a large percen-
tage of Jews in that area are
not affiliated with a con-
gregation, Cantor Ladin
rushed in to fill the gap.
The services also offered the
advantage of allowing her
temporary congregants a
greater chance of par-
ticipating, Cantor Ladin said.
When people called to make
reservations, many were ask-
ed if they wanted to take part
in the service.
Another difference between
her service and other local
observances was that Cantor
Ladin did not give sermons
during the course of the
holidays. Instead, she gave
talks based on the theme of
what she called "At-one-
ment."
"At-one-ment is what I find
a lot of people say they are
looking for. They want more
spirituality in their lives,"
Cantor Ladin said.
Cantor Ladin's father, T.
George Sternberg, was a
lawyer in Bay City who serv-
ed as cantor for a local Con-
servative congregation. He
also trained his daughter.
Despite having the proper
educational background,
Cantor Ladin said she never
expected to be a professional
cantor because there weren't
many women cantors when
she was raised. She sang pro-
fessional opera work beginn-
ing in 1970, about the time
she began her studies at Cen-
tral Michigan University.
In 1973, she moved to
Milwaukee, where she served
as a cantor before coming to
Seattle in 1986. ❑
