Mentoring the Next Generation
NAJCF: North American Jewish Choral Festival of Choral Conductors
During the summer months,
after the vaccine push was well
advanced, The North American
Jewish Choral Festival had an
opportunity to gather in-person
for a one-day Festival in July.
Vaccinated singers gathered in
the large and tented outdoor
space of the Kaplen JCC on the
Palisades in Tenafly, NJ, and
sang their hearts out. And while it
was not the five-day Festival that
many had come to know and love,
it was nevertheless a cathartic
experience for everyone to spend a
full day singing together.
This year’s NAJCF featured
workshops with Cantor
Natasha Hirschorn, Hazzan
Jacob Mendelson, and Cantor
Benjie Ellen Schiller. There was
