Raised in a modern Orthodox Jewish home and trained at The Jewish Theological Seminary (JTS). Cantor Jacobson has served Reconstructionist, Conservative, and Reform Synagogues.
In 2024, Cantor Jacobson became ordained as a Rabbi.
Rabbi/Cantor Jacobson would love an opportunity to bring an enriching service to your community. She continues to regularly lead in-person and virtual services and performs in concert at synagogues in this country as well as overseas in Australia and Singapore. From her signature Shabbat Unplugged musical service, which gets a congregation dancing in the aisles, to helping add value and inspiration to your traditional Shabbat or holiday service, or community program, she is passionate about including people of all ages in singing and celebrating Judaism and life!
“One of the most challenging aspects of inviting a visiting Cantor is to find the balance between the comfort and familiarity of the ritual and the musical and spiritual rejuvenation of the service. Cantor Jacobson has the phenomenal ability to connect with the congregation and find that balance. Cantor Jacobson is a talented musician, a brilliant Cantor, and a wonderful mensch to work with. Looking forward to our next Shabbat service in Australia.”
— Rabbi Adi Cohen
