urjnetworkadmin About TBE No Comments
Dr. Robert Sirotnik (who prefers Cantor Bob) has been the cantor at Temple Beth El since 1971, and practicing as a cantor since 1969. He received his cantorial training from famed cantors Philip Moddel and William Sharlin. Though officially responsible for music at TBE, Bob and his wife Barbara are at least as renowned for their immeasurable depth of caring. Dr. Sirotnik is also TBE’s choir director and a well respected dentist in our community.
