(ISRAEL NATIONAL NEWS) -- Jews in Germany have been shaken this summer by a diminutive cantor with a big voice. But not in the way one might think.
True, Avitall Gerstetter has one powerful set of pipes, as anyone who has heard her lead services at Berlin’s Reform Oranienburgerstrasse Synagogue can testify. Facing the Torah Ark, she could practically open the velvet curtain with her soprano voice alone.
But now, Gerstetter — the first German-born female cantor — is a persona non grata in that very sanctuary in former East Berlin, after she penned a column critical of conversion in Germany in Die Welt, a major German newspaper.
