Artist-In-Residence Weekend - Gedalia Penner Robinson

For 5783 we are introducing a monthly Artist-in-Residency Shabbat Evening Service. To kick off the series, we are proud to welcome Gedalia Penner-Robinson.

Gedalia Penner-Robinson, originally from Queens, NY, began his musical career as a singer and then musical director of Y-Studs A Cappella, with whom he toured the globe sharing traditional, liturgical, Israeli and pop music, and produced Jewish Holiday parodies and other music videos enjoyed by millions of viewers on YouTube. In 2019, as a resident of the Rising Song Institute, he studied song-leading with renowned song-leader Joey Weisenberg, where his eyes were opened to both the breadth of the spiritual Jewish community and his passion for leading song and prayer within it. He is currently pursuing his cantorate at the H. L. Miller Cantorial School at JTS, and as a studying cantor, strives to build a Jewish world where everyone is heard and everyone knows that their voice matters.
