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 Despite her background, it took Forman several years to decide what to do. 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
