I NEWS 1
CATHRINE GERSON
Special to The Jewish News
H
aving completed their
freshman year at
Hebrew Union Col-
lege's Jerusalem campus,
Ida Rae Hirsh and Sharon
Forman may differ in age
and background, but not in
ambition.
The students spent the
year as part of a group of 46
students learning and ab-
sorbing the land of Israel,
hoping it will stand them in
good stead when they seek
employment as rabbis or
cantors in Reform congrega-
tions in the United States.
"It's been really inter-
esting spending this year in
Israel, both as a woman and
as a foreigner," said Hirsh, a
34-year-old M.A. from Pitt-
sburgh.
"When you meet Israelis,
nearly immediately they ask
you what you are doing here,
and the reactions I've
received when I tell them
that I'm studying to become
a hazanit — cantor — have
been absolutely
unbelievable," Hirsh said.
Although she admits that
it was hard to return to
school after earning her
master's degree and working
at a variety of jobs, Hirsh is
convinced she did the right
thing when she signed up for
the college.
"After living in New York
for a couple of years, doing
private teaching, singing in
churches and freelance work
in musical theater, I felt that
I really missed something,
some spiritual content, and I
realized that I didn't want to
live like that," she confided.
Hirsh worked for several
years as a cantorial soloist
on the High Holidays in
Providence, R.I. It was only
natural, she decided, to get
the formal training and
become a full-time cantor.
It helped that she grew up
in a Reform congregation,
"with strong Conservative
tendencies." But the main
input in her childhood was
music, and she was in-
troduced to hazzanut natur-
ally.
"My mother sang in the
choir, and after my bat mitz-
vah I joined too. Then, when
I was 17, the guy who had
been the cantorial soloist till
then left, and the congrega-
tion decided to try me out,"
Hirsh said.
"They probably preferred
to take their risks with a
woman, after already trying
a non-Jew," she added.
Forman, 23, from Norfolk,
Va., decided to start rab-
binical studies after earning
a B.A. in English literature
and a teacher's certificate.
"Because my father is a
rabbi, I. practically grew up
in the temple, and for years I
used to say that I would
become one too," Forman
said.
• "Although the temple,
Ohev Shalom, is a very
classical Reform temple, our

home was more Conser-
vative because my mother
comes from a very religious
Orthodox family and we
were quite religious at
home," she said.
"It was strange, because
on one hand we had the tem-
ple where my father was the
only one wearing a tallit,
and on the other hand, a
home where my mother
celebrated and kept two days
of all the holidays."
Despite her background, it
took Forman several years
to decide what to do.
"When I went to college, I
broke away from nearly all
that had been such a strong
influence in my childhood,"
she said.
"I guess it was mainly a
reaction against always hav-
ing been in the center,
always having been looked
upon as an example, but in
college I wasn't involved in
anything Jewish at all. I still
felt very strongly about tra-
dition, but I didn't want any
part of the organized re-
ligious life on the campus."
Forman says she decided
to study for the rabbinate
while attending a teacher's
seminary, where "every sin-
gle project I prepared was
connected to my
background.
"If the project was about
teaching children to learn a
certain subject, my project
was about how to teach them
about Israel, or how to teach
children Judaism, and on it
went."
Forman, like Hirsh, says
she felt something was miss-
ing from her life and how she
saw her future. "I loved
