Testimonials
"Ellie has the whole package: Voice and instrument, soulfulness and the mind to create living musical moments. Listening to her lets me know that Jewish music will continue to give expression to our communal hopes. What she shares comes from all of our hearts. She is an amazing colleague, both in-person and conducting services over Zoom. She is a gift."
— Rabbi Robert Levy
"The "Songs of Hope and Havdallah" concert Ellie presented for Temple Beth Torah could not have been more perfect. Her selection of songs, including both variety and style, made for an excellent way to end Shabbat and celebrate Havdallah. The teachings she gave between each of the songs were inspiring. I particularly loved the integration of classic Debbie Friedman and other modern artists with her own beautiful compositions. Her passion and energy and love for both music and Judaism shine through."
— Rabbi Dan Gordon, Temple Beth Torah in Humble, TX
"Little did we know last August when Ellie wrote to Shir Hadash, a tiny reform congregation in Florence, Italy, that we were about to welcome a new member into our family. We were thrilled to discover her beautiful voice and winning personality. Ellie doesn't just bring her voice to these services. At our Tuesday planning meetings, Ellie helps us maintain variety and freshness while making sure that the service has a welcome consistency, coherence and familiarity."
