Meet Toby Pechner
Toby Pechner
Director of Family Worship and Songleading
Toby Pechner, our inaugural Director of Family Worship and Songleading, will prepare all of our B' mitzvah students to lead the congregation in prayer, will lead our young family engagement and Jr. Jews community, and bring joyful music to all aspects of synagogue life.
Toby has spent the last four years at Chicago Sinai Congregation where he served as the Director of Family Worship, Technology and Songleading. He worked with their young families and B' mitzvah families to grow their relationships with the congregation’s community.
Toby started Songleading at Rodef Sholom when he was 11 years old. Inspired by spending Sundays at Rodef Sholom and summers at URJ Camp Newman, Toby decided to pursue Songleading full time in 2016.
Toby brings the joy of communal singing to congregations, camps, and communities across the nation and even the world, joining Netzer South Africa for camp in 2018. Toby loves to bring people together to show how powerful we can be by connecting in song, lifting our spirits through music.
