Meredith Greenberg has been the Cantor of Temple Ner Tamid since July 2008. She was ordained in May 2009 by the Academy for Jewish Religion, a Pluralistic Seminary in New York.

Cantor Greenberg grew up in Hollywood, Florida and attended her senior year of high school at the Interlochen Arts Academy in Michigan. She has a Bachelor of Music in Voice from the Manhattan School of Music. She has performed professionally as a soprano soloist in both Jewish and secular musical genres and venues, taught theory and general music in New York City schools, and for a few years even co-owned a catering and opera company called Divas’ Delite Inc. with her spouse, Leora Perlman.

As a spiritual leader at Temple Ner Tamid, Cantor Greenberg seeks Lahavot Eish, ‘to spark the fire’ within each of us, by creating meaningful davening experiences through music and prayer, teaching us to open through contemplative practice, study, and connection to one another.

Cantor Greenberg is also a certified Spiritual Director and offers counseling and individual spiritual support to all members of our community. Through the practice of integrating spirituality into every day Jewish living, Cantor Greenberg offers her experience and skills through Mindfulness based learning in classes, small groups, and one-on-ones, as needed.

In addition to weekly prayer and classes, you can practice with Cantor Greenberg at monthly contemplative Shabbat morning experiences, Tikkun Middot work, (the repair of our character traits), deep listening groups, interfaith dialogue, singing with our High Holiday choir, and much more.

In addition to her service synagogue community and outreach, over the last several years, Cantor Greenberg has engaged a great deal of her passion and energy helping to support the newly developing progressive Jewish community of T’bilisi, Georgia. Congregation Dor L’dor was established as part of the Peace Cathedral Community under the leadership of Bishop Malchas Songulashvilli.

Cantor Greenberg lives in Montclair, New Jersey with her spouse, their three sons, and the family treasures, their dogs.
