From Cantor
Benjamin Z. Maissner: It is my sincere honour and privilege to welcome into our midst as Hazzan Sheini, Cantorial Soloist Lindi Rivers. During my recent Sabbatical in the fall of 2005, Lindi stepped in as a substitute and carried out my cantorial duties with great success. Her warmth, charm and vocal ability has made it an easy transition for the congregation. Lindi has gained the affection and respect of our members as she carries out her cantorial duties in the most professional and compassionate nature. |

I
met Lindi several years ago when she joined Lachan
the Toronto Jewish Chamber Choir. I was immediately
made aware of her vocal and musical abilities as
well as of her serious approach and commitment to
Jewish music. Expressing to me several times over
the years her desire to become a Cantor has led us
to embark upon a path of intense study of the
cantorial arts. I know she will become a great
cantor. Lindi has sung in several choirs and has functioned as a cantorial soloist in several congregations in Southern Ontario. She was a cantorial soloist at Temple Sinai in Toronto, Temple Sholom in Vancouver and before coming to Holy Blossom Temple, she served as cantorial soloist at Anshe Sholom in Hamilton. Upon my return from Sabbatical I was convinced that Lindi would be an asset to our Temple and be most suitable as our High Holy Day cantorial soloist. The speed and energy Lindi invested in becoming a partner to our senior staff and to me, in particular, has been an amazing positive journey to Temple, to our staff and to me personally. Lindi is devoted to our vision and our goals and has already shown her strength in many areas. I know she will endear herself to our members and become an integral part of our Temple community. I look forward in anticipation for her success. |
