"Cantor Ben led a beautiful havdallah bat Mitzvah service for my daughter. He was a great teacher and very easy to work with."
"We reached out to Cantor Ben to help my daughter prepare for her Bat Mitzvah ceremony but we ended up getting so much more than that. In their weekly dialogues, Cantor Ben was able to help her relate lessons from the Torah to current issues in a modern and engaging way. We're truly thankful to have found him. With our families being all over the world, Cantor Ben conducted a beautiful ceremony via Zoom so all could join. I have received so many positive feedback from our families and guests. Thank you, Cantor Ben."
"My grandson was Bar Mitzvahed last weekend. Cantor Ben ran the show from beginning to end. My grandson had no prior Hebrew training. Cantor Ben was an excellent choice. He gave my grandson instructions so that he could make Aliyah (do the Torah blessing) and perform his haftorah. Cantor Ben is very personable and made the whole experience as a participant or guest both warm and inviting. The service was strong on substance and accessible to all. He spoke very highly of my grandson. This added to my grandson's feeling of accomplishment and pride. He was also very inclusive to other family members who participated in the ceremony. I would highly recommend him. He adds a positive vibe to the experience and develops a good rapport with his students. Thank you Cantor Ben!"
"Wow! What a beautiful experience we had with Cantor Ben guiding our son for almost 2 years, culminating in a memorable Bar Mitzvah service. Not only did our son learn hebrew and the principles of Judaism, but more importantly, Ben taught him some of life's most priceless lessons and provided him with a foundational of positivity, service, kindness, giving back, and honoring oneself. I can't say enough wonderful things about how pleased I am with my decision to hire Ben for our son's Bar Mitzvah training and life coaching. And the cherry on top was the service he performed virtually. I was nervous about a virtual service, but it was so personal, meaningful and memorable. Everyone who attended was impressed. I will pass Ben's info to my friends who want such wonderful guidance and purposeful learning for their child."
"Our family had an incredible experience working with Cantor Ben Silverberg for our son's Bar Mitzvah. From the very beginning, his approach was warm, positive, encouraging, and confidence-building. The ceremony itself was beautiful, meaningful, personal, and filled with humour and heart. His singing voice was rich and moving, his storytelling unforgettable, and he created an atmosphere that felt authentic and deeply emotional for our family. What stood out most was the way he connected with our son beyond the religious preparation. Through their weekly sessions, he encouraged reflection, values, confidence, accountability, and personal growth. We genuinely saw maturity and self-awareness develop in our son throughout this journey. Cantor Ben clearly respects and cares deeply about the children and families he works with, and we feel incredibly grateful to have shared this experience with him. We would wholeheartedly recommend him to any family preparing for a Bar or Bat Mitzvah."
"I could go on and on and on about Ben, his modern and efficient process, his genuine investment and interest in the whole learning process and the actual service. Our daughter was not only able to learn the portion on her own time, but also learned weekly life lessons, which were so impactful. Ben was always available by email and was receptive to the idea of having a few Zoom sessions. He made sure that the service was one that was specifically tailored to what we wanted. He led a meaningful service yet still allowed our daughter to shine, and it had a perfect combination of lightheartedness mixed with the tradition we wanted from a havdallah service. The experience surpassed anything we could have ever hoped for, and we look forward to using Ben for our next daughter's bat mitzvah in a few years!"
"Cantor Ben was awesome. He stoked confidence and curiosity in my daughter and made her realize that so many basic principles in modern society stem from Judaism. She sounded great on her Haftora but the wisdom part was the best. He did a beautiful service that was warm and funny that everyone in the crowd enjoyed. Some of my non Jewish friends thought he was so great they asked me for his number just to help teach their kids about life! He's the best."
