Meet Cantor Wendy Siegel

In Her Own Words...

"One of the best things I like most about being a cantor is making connections with people and I don't just mean, 'Hi, how are you?'. I mean really hearing their stories. I want people to know that I am here and I'd like to help in any way that I can and I genuinely care. I am also a great listener."


"I love that Judaism is an ever-changing and ever-growing religion. It is constantly being re-interpreted... We go through the same five books of Torah each year and in the same Torah portion we can change our views as the world and society changes. We give meaning to make them relevant."
