Cantor Barbra
Thank you SO much for the beautiful Bat Mitzvah service on Saturday. I received many compliments and everyone told me how Sammy really shined. I owe it all to you, your beautiful service, gorgeous voice, amazing organizational skills, and fantastic tutor Cammy. I really could not have imagined a better performance. Thank you for preparing Sammy so well for her big day and making it all run smoothly when the day arrived. I am highly recommending you to all my friends and family.

Thank you!!!


Stacey & Dan Lazar, Woodcliff Lake, NJ

Hiring Cantor Barbra was the best decision we made for our son's Bar Mitzvah. From the moment we met Barbra, she was warm, caring, and put everyone at ease. Our tutor, Cammy, was fantastic- I couldn't believe how quickly and how well my son was learning Hebrew. Most of the lessons were done by Skype- and it was so convenient for our hectic schedules. The service was everything we dreamed it would be. Barbra's voice is simply beautiful and everything felt so personal to our family- it was truly a magical day that we will treasure forever. Cantor Barbra and her tutors are extraordinary- I cannot recommend them highly enough!


The Lederer Family, Ardsley, NY

We cannot express how thankful we are to have worked with Cantor Barbra and Cantor Carey for our son's B'nai Mitzvah. Cantor Carey was incredibly patient and a wonderful teacher. My son was so well prepared and he received so many compliments on his chanting.

Cantor Barbra was so accommodating, especially with all that has happened this past year. She was flexible with scheduling meeting times, lessons and rehearsal. She led a beautiful service and we received many compliments from both family and friends.

Thank you so much for making our son's B'nai Mitzvah so special.


Laura & Michael Linder, Paramus

Cantor Barbra,
Thanks again for everything you did for our son’s Bar Mitzvah. The service was amazing, and we truly appreciate the flexibility and time you and Morah Barbara spent tutoring and guiding him to Become a Bar Mitzvah.

We would certainly recommend you to others, especially those looking for a less traditional route for a Bar Mitzvah.

Thanks again and stay safe,


Lisa & Michael, Glen Rock

We could not be any happier than we are with our experience with Cantor Barbra. Our second daughter just had her bat mitzvah last month. Cantor Barbra gave a beautiful ceremony and made sure our daughter was completely prepared for her big day. We were just as pleased this time as we were 4 years ago when our older daughter made her bat mitzvah with Cantor Barbra. Thank you for giving both of my girls a great experience while learning all about the Jewish religion.


Jodi & Joe Prezzia, Washington Township, NJ

I wanted to thank you for such a wonderful service. We have been getting so many compliments on how great it was. You made the boys’ day special and it was a pleasure going through this journey with you and Cantor Carey.

Thanks again!


Amy & Michael Schwartz, Paramus

Our daughter Sarah had such a positive experience working with Cantor Barbra's tutoring service. Her teacher Morah Barbara was a pleasure all around and was so supportive, patient and thorough. Sarah was really prepared for her bat mitzvah service and learned a lot through her tutoring both pre-pandemic and during. Despite shifting to a small backyard service due to the pandemic, the ceremony Cantor Barbra conducted was meaningful and special. We were so happy to still be able to celebrate Sarah and appreciate all of Cantor Barbra's expertise.


Sarah & Tal Yonai, Wyckoff

Cantor Barbra was wonderful and easy to work with! The baby naming ceremony for our daughter was magical and everyone felt connected to the moment. We worked together to create a ceremony that fit our family and these social distanced times, which meant so much to us. It was beautiful! Cantor Barbra has an exquisite voice that lit up the event. Thank you!


The Stein Family

Cantor Barbra’s
service for our daughter's Bat Mitzvah was so intimate and personal. She helped our daughter not only learn her Torah portion but have a better understanding of her Jewish heritage. Stella loved her lessons, never complained about meeting with the tutor Galia, or the Cantor and learned how to read Hebrew, chant Torah and while feeling confident to lead a service. I would highly recommend her services.


Michelle & Craig Freedberg, Upper Saddle River

Cantor Barbra,
My husband and I want to thank you for making this such a special day for Parker. The service was beautiful and couldn’t have been better if held in a temple.

We appreciate the time spent with Parker in guiding him to become a Bar Mitzvah.

Wishing you and your family a happy, healthy New Year and an easy fast.


Nina and Lee Auster, Grandparents of Parker

Hi Cantor Barbra,
Just a brief note to let you know how much we Loved the service performed by Cantor Biddelman with our children. We have continued to receive compliments on the service for months afterwards from family and friends. We were delighted with our tutor, Galia, who is a very talented and caring teacher. And of course, we could not have accomplished so much without your guidance and support.

Thank you for helping make our B'Nai Mitzvah a wonderful event.

Love,


Zoya and Joe, Upper Saddle River, NJ

We wanted to thank you so much for such a very special day in our son Ethan's life. You made everything perfect from beginning to end! Our family felt comfortable with you from the first time we met. Your professionalism is impeccable. We also can't say enough about Ethan's tutor Galia, she was wonderful and the perfect match for him. She was patient, kind and made each lesson fun (we even baked together). When he started his lessons he wasn't sure that he could learn the Hebrew language but he did it with Galia's help. Our friends and family were so impressed with Ethan's chanting and confidence during the service. We received so many compliments on such a beautiful ceremony. You guided us every step of the way and the ceremony was flawless. Thank you for also allowing our daughter Mia to participate during the service, she can't wait for her Bat Mitzvah. It was truly a memorable day for our entire family. We will miss you and Galia but hope to work with you again very soon.


The Goldfarb Family, Washington Township

Cantor Barbra,
Thank you once again for everything. Not only was the tutoring experience productive and fun for Sarah, but the ceremony itself was wonderful and exceeded our expectations. The service was just the right mix of Hebrew and English, which we really appreciated. Furthermore, the content of the service itself was meaningful and engaging. Overall, the Bat Mitzvah was everything Sarah and our family was hoping for so THANK YOU for creating such a beautiful day for us to enjoy and remember.

All the best,


Jonathan & Heather, Boonton, NJ

Hi Cantor Barbra,

Thank you again for everything. We were so proud of Jake yesterday! Everyone said he did an amazing job. Thanks again! Until the next one!


Sara & Glenn Buchbaum, Allendale

Dear Barbra and Cammy,
Thank you. I wanted to take some time to reflect upon Ryan and his Bar Mitzvah before sending this note to you both. I'm glad I did.

Ryan's journey in becoming a Bar Mitzvah wasn't just a few lessons that ended with a service and a party. It was much more. With your teachings and time, patience and practices, he gained a Jewish education. The time you spent working with Ryan added tremendously to the Jewish cultural experience we share as part of our Epstein Family values. I saw this when he rose proudly and confidently to share his prayers and Torah portion with the guests in our home. It was fantastic.

What really showed me that he understood what it means to be Jewish and more telling of the wonderful young man that you helped guide, was our discussion of the massacre in Pittsburgh over the past weekend. With kindness, compassion and deep thoughtfulness, we discussed what it meant to be targeted and discriminated against for your faith and beliefs. We talked about how we hoped to prevent such horror in the future. I was so sad to have the conversation with him but also optimistic that we have raised a great young man who will always respect and protect what it means to be Jewish. Appreciate your part in these life lessons.

Again, many thanks.
Best,


Julie & Eric Epstein, Saddle River
