Cantor Jennifer Boyle Joins Temple Beth Tikvah

Temple Beth Tikvah is delighted to announce Cantor Jennifer Boyle as the new cantor-educator as of July 1. She was ordained in June 2020 from Hebrew College in Boston, has a master’s degree in Jewish education, and a certification in interfaith family Jewish engagement from Hebrew College. In addition to being the cantor, Cantor Boyle will lead Temple Beth Tikvah’s Religious School.

A $10,000 grant from the Jewish Foundation of Greater New Haven, given in memory of Arthur and Yvette Eder, has enabled the Westville Synagogue to make recent safety improvements. The grant enabled installation of a new security system and other work. The system includes eight cameras, an intercom between the office manager’s desk and the lower lobby entrance, and several panic alarms. That is in addition to door locks that had been previously installed.

Synagogue Board Chairman Elliott Croll, who coordinated the effort, said that although the synagogue always had considered security important, the impetus for this latest effort was the Oct. 27, 2018 murders at the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh. After collecting a lot of information about what city, state and federal resources were available from the Jewish Federation, the New Haven Department of Police Service and government agencies—and after a walk-through with Lt. Rose Dell, the area police commander at the time—the synagogue figured out what was needed and applied for the grant.

Before cantorial school, Cantor Boyle graduated magna cum laude from Hofstra University Honors College with a B.S. in Music History and a minor in Jewish Studies. In addition, she completed a Fellowship at the Shalom Hartman Institute in New York. Cantor Boyle has been a cantorial soloist, religious school educator and B’nei Mitzvah tutor, receiving high praise for her musical ability, strengths as a communicator, creativity as an educator, and her can-do style as a member of a team. Rabbi Offner and the Temple Beth Tikvah community are excited to welcome Cantor Boyle into our spiritual family. To learn more about Cantor Boyle, visit tbtshoreline.org.
