Voices of Tomorrow: Cantors From Broadway to the Bimah —
Talented Performers Give Up Careers in Film and Theater to Become Clergy
/Religion PR News/ - LAS VEGAS, NV, October 19, 2007 - Imagine having talent to star in a sitcom, sing on the Broadway stage or wow 'Vegas audiences. Countless performers pray for those opportunities.
Now, imagine talented performers who pray for something more... an opportunity to lift their music even further. Sunday afternoon November 11th, Las Vegas hosts remarkable performers who have done just that... trading stage and screen for something more sacred.
Voices Of Tomorrow: Cantors From Broadway To Bimah, comes exclusively to Las Vegas,
presented by the LV Jewish Center for Education, Media & the Arts at the new Congregation Ner Tamid, in Henderson.
"These cantors, and cantors in training, are remarkable talents... gifted performers who heeded a spiritual calling and traded life on the stage for a lifetime role on the bimah," reflected Rabbi Yocheved Mintz, spiritual leader for Valley Outreach Synagogue and a managing director of the Las Vegas Jewish Center for Education, Media & the Arts. "Their stories are truly amazing."
Lorna Lembeck lived a successful career as a singer and actress. She played the singing stewardess in Airplane, starred as television's Private Benjamin and has countless film, TV and stage credits. Now, Lembeck has given up callbacks for a calling, as cantorial intern at the Malibu Jewish Center and Synagogue, and Cantor for the Creative Arts Temple in West LA.
Las Vegas Cantor Daniel Eli Friedman built an impressive career, with roles in Cats and Les Miserables on Broadway. He gave up the greasepaint to become a Cantor, serving as Temple Beth Sholom's voice of musical prayer for six years.
Along with Lembeck and Friedman, Voices Of Tomorrow will feature talented cantorial students from the Academy for Jewish Religion in California, cantorial soloists from across the Vegas Valley, the combined Jewish children's choirs of Las Vegas, and special guest Cantor Nate Lam, renowned Chazzan of the Stephen S. Wise Congregation in Los Angeles.
Complimentary tickets to this wonderful afternoon of Jewish and popular music are available courtesy of Las Vegas Jewish Center for Education Media & the Arts and event sponsors Valley Outreach Synagogue and the Academy for Jewish Religion in California.
