Music

Cantor Arik Luck and Cantor Marsha Attie infuse each Shabbat experience and holiday celebration with music that is guaranteed to move you.

They are often joined by other musical collaborators including accompanists Eric Schoen and Jonathan Ferris, as well as many other talented musicians.

Cantor Luck is a member of the American Conference of Cantors (ACC), was a founding member and former president of the Reform Cantors of Chicago (RCC), holds a Masters Degree of Sacred Music from the Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion, Debbie Friedman School of Sacred Music, and was ordained as a cantor by HUC-JIR DFSSM in 2009. Cantor Luck is a recording artist and you can listen to his release, Moishe Oysher: The Master Singer of His People!

Cantor Attie was instrumental in the creation of many of our innovative services, including our Contemporary High Holy Day services, as well as our nationally recognized Young Adult service, the Late Shabbat. Cantor Attie received her Cantorial ordination in 2014 from AJRCA (Academy of Jewish Religion California). Cantor Attie is a composer and recording artist whose CDs can be found on her website, http://marshaattie.com.
