We’re kicking off our conference with a show you won’t want to miss! Bridges bring together the luminous, prayerful melodies of Cantor Abbie Strauss and the soulful, grounding, country-infused spirit of Joe Buchanan in a shared musical experience.
With joy, heart, and deep spiritual resonance, this collaborative concert sets the tone for everything to come, lifting the room, inviting connection, and celebrating life. Featuring surprise guest artists throughout the evening, this dynamic and heartfelt show is the perfect way to begin our time together.
Where have we come from, where are we now, and where are we going? This interactive, round-table conversation will bring together thought-leaders of the Cantors Assembly and our partner seminaries to explore the path and imagined future of our sacred calling.
