Cantor Taibel Weekend

Cantorial Weekend Visit with Cantor Neal Taibel

Scroll down for full schedule of events for the weekend!

Neal Taibel, a fifth-year cantorial student at JTS, is a classically trained tenor and graduate of the Frost School of Music at the University of Miami, where he received a bachelor of music in Vocal Performance. Neal was born and raised in Houston, Texas. He is blessed to have been mentored by Cantor David Propis and Cantor Meir Finkelstein at Congregation Beth Yeshurun, where he has been leading full Shabbat services, in the cantors’ absence, since he was 15 years old. Most recently, Neal had the honor to perform at a private concert with Cantor Rachel Goldman, Cantor Meir Finkelstein, and Cantor Azi Schwartz. During the summer of 2022, Neal completed his Clinical Pastoral Certification at Houston Methodist. This program allowed him to serve as a chaplain to patients in the hospital and work on his relationships with clergy of various faiths. In the fall of 2022, Neal began his internship at the Brotherhood Synagogue in Manhattan and then spent the spring semester studying with JTS in Jerusalem. Upon returning to JTS in New York in the fall of 2023, he resumed his internship at the Brotherhood Synagogue.
