CBJ WELCOMES CANTOR MUNRO
Cantor Kochava Munro received cantorial ordination and a Master's of Jewish Education from Hebrew College in Newton, MA in 2023. She was raised in Woodbridge, CT as a child, but has lived in Florida, New Jersey, Vermont, and Massachusetts. As a daughter of a cantor, she learned to lead services and chant Torah from a young age. Prior to Hebrew College, Cantor Kochava graduated from the University of Hartford with a degree in mathematics and secondary education but soon realized that her true passion was cantorial work. She served as the cantorial soloist for Ohavi Zedek Synagogue in Burlington, VT from 2017-2019. She looks forward to bringing joyful musical programs to Congregation B'nai Jacob and building community through song. When she is not singing or playing guitar, Cantor Kochava loves bird watching, hiking, reading, and watching the latest action movie. She and her husband, Jacob Munro, look forward to being a part of this wonderful community!

Dr. Jeffrey Hoos, Past President of the Jewish Federation, started his fundraising career selling raffle tickets with Barry Vine forty years ago. Joey Russell and Barry Vine worked together on the Ambulance Campaign, "The Penny Parade," in the 1980s. Together, they raised money with stamina and heart, sparking our New Haven community of Jewish organizations, schools, and synagogues to send over twenty ambulances to Israel. Reuven Russell, Stern Professor of Theater, is a well-known, talented actor and comedian, like his father. He continues the family's good work of community fundraising for this MDA Ambulance drive. Inspired by the legacy of Joey Russell z”l and the event's match donation by Barry Vine, he is supporting our efforts to send a replacement Life Support Ambulance to our brothers and sisters in Israel. -
