“Rose is a compassionate and thoughtful leader. In her work crafting meaningful havdallah experiences on student retreats she was able to encourage groups of her peers to share openly about what they had learned. She nourished songleading skills throughout retreats, and deepened the sacred space of community through thoughtful questions she would ask of leaders and peers. Her kind presence, inquisitive nature, and focus on inclusivity make her a valuable member of any community. ”
— Rabbi Dana Benson (Assistant Director of University of Washington Hillel and former Intern in the HUC-JIR National Office of Recruitment and Admissions)
“I’ve been working with Rose for over 4 years now and have watched her grow and mature into a formidable and extremely well-organized young woman. She handles herself professionally with a wisdom well beyond her years and most importantly is able to quickly bounce back from setbacks to accomplish whatever she sets her mind to doing. She has an honest and well intentioned heart and has brought immense joy and humor to my life these past few years.”
“Rose is a gifted songleader and educator! When she sings with a group, she truly understands how to actively engage all of the participants, no matter their age or background, and she readily achieves the joyful magic of communal music. She also plans inspiring and creative services, switching masterfully between traditional and contemporary liturgy. Most importantly, Rose is deeply familiar with the philosophy and pedagogy of songleading(and more general education!), and her thoughtful planning results in consistent success.”
— Noah Zaves (Former Director of Operations for the North American Federation of Temple Youth)
“Rose has wonderful rapport with kids. As my Jewish Kids Rock band camp intern, she engaged kids in creating and writing songs, taught them performance techniques, songled and facilitated warm up exercises while nurturing a team spirit among the band coaches. All of the little rockers and band coaches loved working with her.”
— Naomi Less (Touring Jewish singer/songwriter, Jewish Chick/Kids Rock Camps founder, Lab|Shul Founding Ritual Leader, and Director of StorahTelling)
“Rose Snitz is incredibly dedicated to Jewish community. She is a talented musician and prayer leader. We have seen her enthusiastically lead music at URJ Biennials, and have had the privilege to share the bima with her at her home congregation. Rose is knowledgable in a variety of Jewish music, especially contemporary and camp settings. ”
— Rabbi Karen and Rabbi Micah Citrin (Former Co-Senior Rabbis of Temple Israel, Tulsa, OK)
