Rising Cantor Devorah Tucker-Fick
A 5th-year Cantorial student in the ALEPH Ordination Program, Devorah was born during the week of Parshah Beshalach. It is thus no wonder that she wandered through a wilderness, feeling called to serve others, but without a spiritual home, for nearly 40 years. This journey eventually brought her to Judaism and the calling to the Cantorate. She envisions serving through music, chaplaincy, education, and spiritual direction.
Currently, Devorah has two ongoing ventures: The Blessing Project, which aims to make traditional davening (prayer) and deep spiritual practice accessible and teachable to teens and adults; as well as Hineni, a collaboration with Rabbi Elizabeth Goldstein, which combines Torah learning, music, and spiritual preparation during Elul, the month leading us into Yamim Noraim (the High Holidays).
Devorah is mom to 4 teenagers (whoa!), and partner to Jim. They live in a mid-19th century farmhouse in Michigan with their 3 dogs, 3 cats, 19 chickens, 8 ducks, and 2 geese. (To be clear, the fowl live outside.)
