Toby Pechner — Associate Partner
Hi! I'm Toby, and I am a Songleader. I started my Songleading journey at Rodef Sholom's Sunday School when I was 11 years old, and since then have spent my life in Jewish music spaces honing my craft. In my college years I spent summers working at Jewish summer camps leading music, and after (a brief startup stint) in 2016 began freelancing at synagogues year round. Starting in the Bay Area, and working my way around the country, I brought the sounds and feel of camp communal singing to temples, communities, and retreats. I've also worked to train young Songleaders in each community, to help them continue to grow their own singing culture.
