Cantor Gale
Cantor Daniel Gale joined the Temple Beth-El professional staff in July, 2005. Born in Bay City, Michigan, he began the study of hazzanut at an early age, and in his teens began to serve as cantor for Bay City’s Temple Israel, as well for nearby congregations in Saginaw and Midland, Michigan. Cantor Gale studied at the Oberlin Conservatory of Music and the Jewish Theological Seminary of America. Active in interfaith affairs, Cantor Gale has worked with the Bridge Center for Racial Harmony and the Ecumenical Council/Catholic Diocese of Saginaw, Michigan, developing programs to promote interfaith understanding and religious tolerance. In recognition of his work in community affairs, he received the Bridge Center’s Spirit of the River Award for Religious Leadership, and the City of Bay City’s Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. “Keep the Dream Alive” Award. As a concert artist, he has performed extensively throughout the United States with such groups as the Santa Fe Opera, the Northwood Orchestra, and Ars Musica Baroque Orchestra. At The Temple in Atlanta, he performed the world-premier of Laurence Sherr’s Fugitive Footsteps, a work for cantor and choir memorializing victims of the Holocaust. He appears on a CD entitled The Spirit of Passover: Voices of the Conservative Movement, a recording project of the Cantors Assembly and the United Synagogue. Cantor Gale was invested by the Cantors Assembly and the Jewish Ministers Cantors Association, and has served on the boards of the Michigan Board of Cantors and the B’nai B’rith Great Lakes Regional Arts Council. Cantor Gale has one teenage son, Noah.
