PDE 5721 Cantorial Field Mentorship II

Students in DFSSM 3rd- and 4th-year internships not already supervised by cantors will receive mentoring from a specifically cantorial perspective. Topics will include working effectively within synagogue infrastructures, successfully crafting public prayer in collegial partnerships, developing and implementing curricular and programmatic initiatives, preparation of musical and spoken materials for public presentation, responding constructively to situations that arise in internships, and general preparation for workplace success beyond cantorial ordination. The format will include biweekly group supervision and monthly one-on-one sessions with the instructor.
