A Conversation with Pioneering Female Cantor Susan Mandell

Douglass College alumna Susan Mandell served as the cantor of Congregation Emanu-El in Edison, New Jersey, for 14 years (1964 to 1978), in a time before women were formally ordained. Mandell will be in conversation with Cantor Kalix Jacobson of Temple Emanuel of South Hills, Pittsburgh, PA. Ethnomusicologist Gordon Dale, the Dr. Jack Gottlieb Scholar in Jewish Music Studies at Hebrew Union College–Jewish Institute of Religion, New York City, will offer historical context for her experience. Presented by the Jewish Music Forum, a Project of the American Society for Jewish Music.

Co-sponsored by The Bildner Center for the Study of Jewish Life; Douglass Residential College; Mason Gross School of the Arts; Temple Emanu-El of Edison
