Our daughter has matured and grown into a caring and empathetic young lady with his guidance. We are so grateful for the lessons he taught her and the confidence he has given her. He also created a beautiful bat mitzvah ceremony that we will always remember. Thanks Cantor Ben!"

"We were absolutely thrilled with Cantor Ben's work for our son's Bar Mitzvah. His teachings went so much deeper than traditional preparation. The ceremony he created incorporated meaningful life lessons that resonated with everyone. Our guests were incredibly impressed, commenting not just on our son's performance, but on the entire experience. Cantor Ben has a remarkable gift for making ancient traditions feel relevant and inspiring. He was such an integral part to make our son's Bar Mitzvah meaningful and memorable."

"We are so happy we found Cantor Ben for our son’s Bar Mitzvah prep. Honestly Ben provided so much more than that. The weekly life lessons that accompanied the Torah lesson led to many great discussions with our son about empathy, leadership, mistakes and resilience. Ben is great at making analogies that reflect my son’s interests like baseball and does so in an engaging way that keeps kids interested as preteens with busy schedules. Though he did not do our service as we are in LA, he connected us with an amazing Rabbi and we had a beautiful day."

"I’ve been working with Cantor Ben on completing my Adult Bat Mitzvah classes for over a year and it’s been the most wonderfully positive experience for me. The lessons were catered to me and my goals, were easy to understand and complete. I felt confident in what I was learning and was always met with positive and valuable feedback from Ben. We recently celebrated me becoming a Bat Mitzvah with my family in attendance and Ben officiated a really beautiful ceremony. Ben has also officiated both of my daughters baby namings and they were so beautiful and memorable days for myself and my family. I highly recommend cantor Ben for both officiating ceremonies and Bar/Bat Mitzvah lessons."

"We can not say enough good things about Cantor Ben. His weekly lessons were a great way for our kids to get ready for their B'nai Mitzvah. He was able to help our kids with their reading, they don't read Hebrew so they were concerned about that. Cantor Ben broke everything down into manageable sections and they were very successful. The service was very meaningful and many of our guests got something out of it. Thank you Ben for all your work! It really paid off with our family."

"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 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."

"Cantor Ben was an easy choice for us since Ben married my husband and I previously, and we knew we wanted Ben to guide my son in preparation for his Bar Mitzvah and lead the service on the special day. His kindness and warmth put my son at ease and my son performed beautifully at his Bar Mitzvah this past weekend. He is not only kind but an incredible human and we enjoy Ben being part of all our special milestones."

"Life can be truly amazing. After reading Kristen Hannah’s book, The Nightingale our adult daughter decided she wanted to learn more about her jewish faith. She then proceeded to find the “coolest” of all cantors to help and lead her on this journey. It didn’t even matter that Cantor Ben was thousands of miles away in another country. Every week our daughter would share with us how Cantor Ben guided her into making connections between passages in the torah and present-day life. Learning to read Hebrew was just the icing on the cake.
Our family will never ever forgot the day of her bat mitzvah. There wasn’t a dry eye in the room. We were all so so proud. Our daughter’s 97-year-old grandfather, who was beaming from head to toe, said it was the best gift he had ever received. THANK YOU Cantor Ben!!"
