Stephen Gottlieb loved music. It was his passion. Had this gifted soul had more time in this world, his parents are sure he would have become a professional musician, and shared his creative spirit with so many. Sadly, the husband and father of three passed away in 2008. It is through Stephen’s love of music that his parents, Harold and Sarah Gottlieb, have established an endowment in excess of $10 million at Temple Israel to create two Cantorial Chairs and an annual summer concert bearing their son’s name.

Michael is proud to sit in a Stephen Gottlieb z”l Cantorial Chair, and to connect Stephen’s name and memory to the uplifting worship and music that brings joy to so many.
