Marcia Weinstein is a passionate Jewish educator, Cantorial Soloist, and Shlichat Tzibur (service leader) with nearly 15 years of experience leading services and teaching across Reform and Conservative congregations.

She teaches Torah, Haftarah, and tefilah to students from ages 11 to 80, crafting meaningful learning experiences that bridge tradition with innovation. Currently pursuing Rabbinic Ordination at the Pluralistic Rabbinical Seminary, Marcia continues to explore ways to inspire Jewish connection. A regular attendee of Songleader Boot Camp and NewCAJE, she thrives in spaces where music and leadership intertwine to elevate Jewish life.
