Thank you for a wonderful service. Izzy did such a wonderful job. We can’t thank you and tutor Galia enough. We are very proud of her.

I just wanted to thank you again for a beautiful service on Saturday evening. Everyone keeps calling, emailing and texting me about how beautiful the ceremony was. Alexa truly had a great experience leading up to and preparing for her Bat Mitzvah and I thank you for providing her with a wonderful tutor and preparing her for the big day. Thank you also for the donations to the Center for Hope and Safety, we will be dropping it all off to the organization next week.

I wanted to extend a HUGE thanks to you and your husband for yesterday. You made the day incredibly special for Owen and our family. Thank you for preparing him!! I greatly appreciated your communication throughout with clear directives. We feel very grateful for you and tutor Shira in helping Owen in such a short period of time.

We wanted to thank you for EVERYTHING - from working with Louise and getting her ready for her Bat Mitzvah to performing an amazing ceremony last night. I apologize for not saying thank you and goodbye last night. I went to put the tallit away and then got stopped by all my friends and family to talk and by the time I made it back to the ceremony room you had already left. But THANK YOU so much. You were great to work with and we really appreciated everything you did! Thank you again. Shana Tova, and have an easy fast.

Thank you so much for a wonderful service!

I received so many compliments on how beautiful you and Abby sounded and how well organized it was. Thank you for organizing all of our honorees, we had many!

We really enjoyed your thoughtful sermon on the first Bat Mitzvah and your words for Abby. The certificate is beautiful and thank you for the Kiddush cup as well!

Abby did a great job and was very well prepared thanks to you, Cammy, and Galia! It was a proud day for her and us and our whole family, thank you!

We can not thank you enough for a perfect Bat Mitzvah for Avery. She sounded amazing and the service was meaningful and the perfect length. Your husband made sure everything ran absolutely seamlessly. I am sorry I did not get to thank you in person on Saturday – I got caught up with the party starting. We are so grateful.

See you again when it is Ethan’s Turn!!!

I want to thank you again for a wonderful memory you have given us. It was such a beautiful evening and we are eternally grateful. Be well and shanah Tovah.

I don’t even know how to say THANK YOU for yesterday. It was absolutely perfect. Exactly the warm intimate service we wanted. My friends and family loved every minute of the beautiful service. Thank you for lending your beautiful voice to such a special day in our lives. It was more than we even hoped for! Thank you for all your hard work. It was just amazing. A pleasure getting to know you as well! And please thank your husband also- sound system was perfect!

Cantor Barbra and her tutoring program are wonderful.  Our daughter has been privately tutored by an amazing tutor for over three years under the supervision of Cantor Barbra and just had her bat mitzvah.  Our daughter was not only extremely well-prepared for her big day, but now has a wonderful knowledge and understanding of her Jewish roots and religion. Cantor Barbra ran the most beautiful service.  But beyond that, she was an absolute joy to work with.  Knowledgable, kind and patient.  I cannot recommend her enough!

Thank you so very much for your expertise.  Although time was short, Ryder was motivated to complete and excel in his studies. His tutor, Teresa Rogers, was an inspiration to our entire family, as we all learned along with her. With Teresa's stories, knowledge and unending humor, all 6 of us looked forward to a new lesson each week. Ryder's Bar Mitzvah was amazing! With your guidance and Ryder's chanting, our friends and family rejoiced with our new "son of the commandments."

Cantor Barbra, you provided an extraordinary, much-needed service for us and for so many families. Your
professionalism and ability to choose the perfect tutor is so very appreciated. Thank you!

The sights and sounds of the service so lovely that our non-Jewish guests were touched emotionally. You were a very supportive presence up at the Torah. Your gorgeous voice fit in with the beautiful venue. Thank you so much for guiding Sabina so well through such a beautiful service. The whole day was a dream!

Thank you so much for leading Zach in such a beautiful service last night. We are so proud of him, and I know he feels like last night was a huge accomplishment and is something he will always be very proud of. It has been such a wonderful experience working with both you and Cantor Carey, and we can’t thank you enough for all of your hard work in preparing Zach for his special day.

Cantor Barbra did a fantastic job at our wedding ceremony! Based on the information we provided her, she told charming, witty, and funny stories about our relationship which our friends and family absolutely loved. In addition, Cantor Barbra spent time speaking with us before the wedding to make sure we were prepared. Any couple would be very lucky to have her as their cantor at their wedding. She made the ceremony very personal, and we were very pleased. We highly recommend her services!

We can't thank you enough for all your help in preparing Sadie to be a Bat Mitzvah. In only 8 months, you and Emily made it possible for her to accomplish it all.

Emily was amazing and became like family during her weekly tutoring sessions. The service was perfect. It was personalized, meaningful and your guidance made all the difference. Our friends and family were able to celebrate with us despite not being physically present. You, your husband, and son made our backyard into a perfect place to celebrate her accomplishments.

Cantor Barbra, We want to thank you for performing a Beautiful Bat Mitzvah service! You did a fantastic job getting Sadie ready for her service. We appreciate all your patience and guidance through-out this Hebrew journey, A special thank you to Rabbi Claire too, she was an amazing tutor for Sadie so caring , accommodating and positive . We appreciated everything you have done for us.

Cantor Barbra and her team were an absolute pleasure to work with. We had tried the traditional synagogue route to teach our son Mason about Judaism and to prepare him for his Bar Mitzvah, but we found that it was too difficult to coordinate our busy schedules with Hebrew School. When we learned that Cantor Barbra would be able to set Mason up with a small group of kids from our town to meet for weekly lessons, we knew it would be a great solution. Cantor Barbra, along with Mason’s tutor Cammy, did a fantastic job teaching him about Jewish history and traditions and helping him prepare for his Bar Mitzvah. The ceremony was beautiful and went off without a hitch. Cantor Barbra was so easy to work with and we really appropriate the special memory she created with her customized service tailored especially for our family. We look forward to working with her again for our younger son!

Cantor Barbra was so great to work with. We started planning a Bat Mitzvah and ended up with a B’Not Mitzvah for our two daughters because of Covid. She made sure that both girls learned what they needed as they were at different levels. It was a lovely service with a beautiful setup and everyone complimented us on it.

Thank you!!!

It all started when Gavin was going into 6th grade and didn't want to continue with the religious school at our synagogue. During our search for an alternative plan so that my son could prepare for his Bar Mitzvah, some of our friends spoke highly of you. After meeting you and working with Cammy for over a year, we knew we had made the right decision. Not only were we able to create a program that worked best for Gavin but he could not have been more prepared and you led an outstanding service that was beautiful, professional and engaging. I only hope to be able to do it all over again for my younger son. Thank you Cantor Barbra for providing a wonderful service and creating a special memory in our lives.

Thank you Cantor Barbra!
You made our son’s service so beautiful and we so appreciate all the help and guidance you gave him. A huge thank you to Cantor Carey as well! Cantor Carey was an amazing tutor and really brought out the best in him. Thank you for pairing them together, it was a great match. Your flexibility helped create a service that was perfect for our family! We are so happy we chose to do his service during these uncertain times and you helped make it intimate and special!
