[HANASHIR:11423] Looking for soloist position in Chicago area!

[DavidSings2 <DavidSings2...>]

Forgive the posting, but I have seen others similar in nature.

My name is David Harris, and I have been active in Jewish education and 
music, both as a student (since 1962) and educator (since the early 
seventies), when Debbie Friedman was my youth group advisor!

I have been studying with hazzan Shlomo Shuster for the past two years and am 
the music educator and junior choir director at Lakeside Congregation for 
Reform Judaism in Highland Park, IL.  For the past three years I have been 
hired at Lakeside as the soloist for the early seating for Kol Nidre and Rosh 
Hashannah morning services.  I am also a member of The Guild of Temple 
Musicians and am in the process of applying for a supporting membership in 
the Greater Chicago Association of Cantors.

I have a solid Judaic education, and am continually striving to learn more.  
My goal and proper place in life is to serve as a Jewish educator and leader. 
 It is important to give back to my Jewish community as much as I can of what 
I have learned and experienced over the years.

I am married and have two daughters, one 16 and one 21 years of age, and need 
to remain in this area for the time being.  Allie, my 16 year old, decided 
two years ago that she wants to become a Rabbi, and has subsequently been 
accepted to the UAHC's Meitav Fellows program.  My family is active in our 
synagogue, and my children both have very strong Jewish roots!

Any referral regarding positions available in the Chicago Metro area would be 
appreciated.  Please email me privately or call me so the entire listserve 
does not have to put up with extra "junk-mail" on my account.

Thanks for taking the time to read this and for any contact suggestions you 
may forward!

B'shalom,

David Harris
