We seek an accomplished cantor or cantorial soloist to lead High Holiday services for our traditional-egalitarian community of 300 families. Responsibilities include leading Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur services (including Kol Nidre and Ne’ilah), chanting Torah and Haftarah as needed, and working with our rabbi and volunteer choir.

Rehearsals begin in mid-August. Services are well attended, with roughly 700 people across the holidays, and the community deeply values traditional nusach and participatory singing.

• Fluency in High Holiday nusach and liturgy
• Ability to read Torah and Haftarah with trope
• Prior experience leading High Holiday services

• Experience directing a choir or ensemble
• Ability to teach melodies to the congregation
• Availability for rehearsals in August

Lakeshore Traditional Congregation is a small, deeply committed community that davens in a traditional nusach with a mixed-seating sanctuary — a combination that confuses newcomers and suits our members exactly. Most of our ritual leadership is lay, and we bring in clergy for the High Holidays and major lifecycle events.

We have no religious school; our children attend the community day school a mile away. What we do have is a daily morning minyan that has not missed a day in nineteen years.
