[HANASHIR:10582] High Holy Day Position



Shalom Chevrah,
I know it seems early, but the older I get, the faster time flies.
I am the Cantor and full-time Spiritual leader of Congregation B'nai Israel 
in Vallejo, CA. It's a small (around 130 families), independent synagogue.
This past year I handled all the High Holy Day Services myself, including the 
davvening, Torah reading, songleading, choir and sermons. Although I was able 
to encourage a LOT of congregational participation, it still felt like a 
one-woman-show! This year I have gotten the go-ahead to get some assistance. 
YAY!
I'm looking for someone, (some Bimah experience helpful but not necessary), 
who could share leadership in some or all of the following areas:
Junior Congregation
Children's programming
Songleading
Davvening
Torah reading

Our style is warm, participatory and fairly informal. I play guitar during 
Services. We use The "New Mahzor" and do a good mixture of Hebrew and 
English, traditional and modern.
Anyone interested can contact me via phone, mail or email:
