We wish our former Education Director, Deborah Sacks Mintz, a great big Mazel Tov on joining the Hadar Institute as their next Director of Tefillah and Music. She takes on this role after serving as an artist, consultant, and teacher for Hadar’s Rising Song Institute since its inception.
As Director of Tefillah and Music, Deborah will work to foster vibrant and robust singing and tefillah communities. Deborah will integrate tefillah education, leadership training, and expanded musical opportunities into Hadar’s public programming, fellowships, content production, and yeshiva studies.
She will also partner artistically with Hadar’s Rising Song Institute in the continued development and cultivation of new Jewish music.
