More Testimials

This letter of recommendation is on behalf of Yehoshua
Redfern, whom I have had the extreme pleasure of
knowing as a Cantor, Religious Leader, and Teacher at
Congregation Kneseth Israel of Annapolis, Maryland.
During his twelve year tenure, he set the standard of
a serious observant Jew to the membership of this
nearly 100 year-old congregation. As cantor, he steadfastly led daily minyan, shabbat and holiday services, actively participated in a myriad of congregational activities, and assisted individual members with both joyous and sorrowful life-cycle events. His melodious voice in religious services and annual concerts was an inspiration to the congregation and entire Jewish community of greater Anne Arundel County. He has a wonderful rapport with youngsters of all ages, often teaching and leading songs for children in nursery school and Jewish day school. Cantor Redfern served as the Congregational Bar and Bat Mitzvah teacher for over a decade. In my experience with the preparation and training of our son for his Bar Mitzvah, the weekly lessons were presented in a clear and logical manner, and were evenly paced. He had considerable patience and understanding, and clearly exhibited the teaching skills to optimize the product of those with limited musical range. This was all accomplished in a very pleasant and engaging manner. Every Bar and Bat Mitzvah student that he trained was well prepared, technically and emotionally for their simcha. In my frequent interactions with Mr. Redfern, he is always very pleasant and understanding. He is easy to talk to and has always exhibited an optimistic attitude. He has been an important member of our small Jewish community. His departure will leave a void spiritually as well as artistically. I have the highest praise for Yehoshua Redfern and recommend him to you without any reservation whatsoever. Please feel free to contact me. Sincerely, Barnett A.
