Sharing Memories as Cantor Cahana prepares to retire...
We all laughed so much at this highlight reel of Cantor Ida Rae Cahana’s many Purim roles, which opened this year’s Little Schpiel of Horrors.
Whether we cheer for her as Esther or boo her as Haman, the CBI community always appreciates her talents and leadership. With this in mind, we are collecting video memories to share with her as she ends her tenure as Senior Cantor.
Please take a moment to share your story via the Celebrate.buzz app. It’s an easy, meaningful way to wish her well on her next steps!e to submit by Friday, April 11.
