LIFE CYCLE

 

“Cantor Shira was a wonderful officiant for our wedding. Her knowledge of Jewish tradition, her commitment to spiritual integrity and inclusiveness, her great singing voice and her joyful way of interacting made our wedding an experience we were delighted to share with our community. She was also brilliant in helping us creatively and thoughtfully bring together into one meaningful space our different religious and cultural backgrounds. We are very grateful to have found her”

Paul and Sheena

 Shalom!

I am a Reconstructionist Cantor committed to a vibrant and diverse expression of spirituality and meaningful engagement with community and ritual. I enjoy creating unique one-of-a-kind ceremonies for couples and families. I am the co-founder of Hamakom, a progressive Beit Midrash in Vancouver, BC. I was ordained at the Reconstructionist Rabbinical School in 2005.

I moved to Vancouver with my wife in 2018 from the Bay Area. I am able to perform weddings and other life cycle events in both BC and in the USA.
