Andres Staff Writer ENCINO -- When Cantor Linda Rich is davening -- singing the Jewish prayers -- at Temple Ner Maarav's Shabbat services, she urges congregants to join in, rather than just listen.
CONSERVATIVE FEMALE CANTOR FITS IN RELIGION: LINDA RICH FOLLOWS ... by Daily News (Los Angeles, CA)
But nowhere in the United States do we hear about the old Cuban Jews at a synagogue on a Saturday night, davening to their hearts' content; or about the crowds of men playing chess and trading pigeons in the newly restored Plaza Vieja on a Sunday afternoon; or about the teens who swarm in Graham Greene's Plaza del Cristo at midnight, pouring rum into paper cups, sharing cigarettes, and doing what teenagers up to no good do everywhere.

There is no doubt that we need both of these poles: within traditional Conservative congregations, we must have multiple minyanim and different approaches to worship--through study, meditation, chanting niggunim, kri'at ha-Torah and traditional davening.
In the footsteps of Rabbi Akiva by Lerner, David G. / Judaism: A Quarterly Journal of Jewish Life and Thought
