Co-Host of Temple Beth Am Podcasts
Rabbi-Cantor Hillary Chorny completed her cantorial investiture, rabbinical ordination, and a Masterʼs degree in Sacred Music at the Jewish Theological Seminary before joining the staff of Temple Beth Am in August, 2014.
Raised in San Diego, CA, she grew up with a deep attachment to the Conservative Jewish community. In 2008, Hillary graduated American University in Washington, D.C. with a B.A. in Jewish studies and a minor in vocal jazz performance.
After working as a Judaics instructor and music director in various Jewish communities and camps, Hillary pursued her dream of becoming a cantor.
