cantor_renee_waghalter.jpgCantor Renee Waghalter joined Congregation Jewish Community North in August 2009.  She believes that a good Jewish education is a basic right of every Jewish person and that exposure to all kinds of Jewish anowledge allows us to make authentic choices in our Jewish living.  
 
This commitment to fostering active participation in all areas of Jewish life led her to become a Jewish educator in 1988 and a cantor in 1996.  Cantor Waghalter has been involved in classroom teaching, supervision, curriculum development and school-wide programming as well as bar/bat mitzvah programming and preparation, pastoral counseling, adult education, family education, and creation of innovative worship services in congregations in Rhode Island,  Massachusetts, Vermont and Houston.   
 
Her cantorial style invites everyone to participate and feel comfortable, and she loves hearing the voices of the congregation lifted in song.  Cantor Waghalter was raised in Houston and has a BA in Judaic Studies from Brown University.  She and her husband, Dave are the proud parents of one-year-old Zev.
