Bring your heart\, your craft\, and your curiosity.

SUMMARY:When You Wonder\, You’re Learning: Finding Inspiration and Guidance in the Work of Mister Rogers
DESCRIPTION:What if Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood wasn’t just a children’s program? What if it was actually a blueprint — one that educators of every kind can continue to learn from today?\n \nIn this keynote talk\, Gregg Behr and Ryan Rydzewski — authors of the bestselling book When You Wonder\, You’re Learning: Mister Rogers’ Enduring Lessons for Raising Creative\, Curious\, Caring Kids — reveal Fred Rogers as more than a nice guy in a sweater. In fact\, Fred was an ingenious scientist and a legendary educator whose approach to working with children matters more than ever.\n \nTogether\, Gregg and Ryan will explore how today's educators are following in Fred’s footsteps\, building modern-day “neighborhoods” that equip every child to become the best of whoever they are. Full of practical examples and trips down memory lane\, cantors will leave the talk with new ideas for nurturing happier\, healthier kids and a more just and loving world. \n\nMarcy Wagner & Josh Rosenberg with: &nbsp\;Michelle Rubin\, \nWendi Fried\, Heather Seid\, \nMichelle Rubenstein\, Joanna Dulkin\, \nSandy Bernstein\, Jesse Holzer\, \nCarol Chesler

SUMMARY:Lyrical Liturgy: The Jewish Voice of Dylan and Cohen
DESCRIPTION:Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen stand among the most influential songwriters of the modern era\, yet both artists drew deeply from Jewish text\, theology\, and musical sensibility. This session explores the Jewish roots of their lives\, lyrics\, and musical style\, examining how biblical imagery\, liturgical language\, and prophetic themes shaped their work. Through selected songs and brief musical examples\, we will look at how Dylan and Cohen function as modern Jewish poets and spiritual voices. The session will also offer practical ideas for incorporating their music into synagogue life\, including worship\, adult education\, concerts\, and holiday programming.

SUMMARY:Coffeehouse
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an unforgettable final morning of soul-stirring expression at our Cantorial Convention Coffeehouse/Open Mic program. In the warm\, welcoming glow of candlelight and coffee\, we’ll gather as colleagues and kindred spirits to share more than just melodies—we’ll share our hearts. This is a space for vulnerability\, creativity\, and connection. Whether through original songs\, spontaneous harmonies\, spoken word\, or storytelling\, this is your chance to step up to the mic and let your soul speak. Bring a poem that’s been sitting in your journal\, a niggun that’s been echoing in your heart\, or a piece of Torah that’s been longing to be shared. In this sacred\, supportive space\, we’ll celebrate not just polished performance\, but raw authenticity. We’ll bear witness to one another’s stories\, struggles\, laughter\, and longing—expressed through the powerful tools we as cantors know best: voice\, language\, and presence. &nbsp\;Come with a piece to share\, or come to listen and be moved. The coffee is hot\, the room is full of ruach\, and your voice is welcome here. \n\nSign up here:&nbsp\;https://forms.gle/KSuzeeYor8ZGGgCq6

SUMMARY:Does My Bridge Lead To Israel?
DESCRIPTION:The Theme of our Convention is “Repairing the World\, One Bridge at a Time” –\nAs we begin this last session of our Convention\, each of us gets back on whatever bridge takes us home.&nbsp\;\nSince 2020\, my home has been in Israel.\nI will be joined by Cantors Assembly Colleagues who share this reality.\nIn order of who came to Israel first\, I will be joined byYossi Zucker\, Gordon Piltch\, Elana Rozenfeld\, Sid Dworkin and Israel Gordan.\nI’ll tell you a little about each of them and some basic facts of their journey.\nThen we’ll examine a number of questions and take turns with short responses on what I hope are important topics in this discussion – and we’ll also have an opportunity for you to inquire into what interests you – reflecting your interest in our lived experiences and perhaps your aspirational experiences for the next year\, decade\, etc.
