Rabbi Cameron (she/her) is a native of New Jersey and an alumna of Trinity College in Hartford, CT, where she majored in Jewish Studies and was a proud member of Trinity’s oldest and only co-ed a cappella group.
Rabbi Lisa Edwards, Ph.D., (she/her) has been a Jewish lesbian activist from the pulpit, on the page and on the Web, in the classroom, and in the streets of Los Angeles for over two decades. From 1994 until 2019, she served as rabbi of Beth Chayim Chadashim (BCC), “House of New Life,” the first synagogue in the world founded by gays and lesbians [1972], and today an LGBTQS inclusive, progressive, diverse community celebrating Jewish faith and culture.
Fran Chalin, Cantorial Soloist Emerita, M.S.W./M.J.C.S., (she/her) was BCC’s Cantorial Soloist for 15 years as well as its Choir Director. During her shared moments with BCC, Cantorial Soloist Chalin brought music that was a transcendent power to the BCC spirit, and evoked a true emotional response and hunger for Jewish music and study. Her voice and musical direction stimulated long lasting memories and deeply felt feelings about who BCCers were, where they came from and what their community mission was.
Cantorial Soloist Fran’s unique use of music and energy served to unite, uplift, inspire, and prompt BCC’s connection to tradition, especially for the children. While she retired from her position at the end of 2007, Fran continues to make occasional guest appearances at BCC and continues to be an important musical force in the community.
