We hired Emily to be the musician-in-residence at a family retreat, and she was fantastic. Her energy and enthusiasm come from a wealth of both Judaic and child-centered expertise, and her musical moments were a true highlight of our event. Emily is great to work with and inspiring to sing with. 10/10 would hire again!
As the result of Dr. Aronoff’s work with us, we were able to implement a student-driven religious school program for K-2, develop a robust Tot Shabbat experience, and develop stakeholders to support our work.
Working with Dr. Emily has been an incredible experience in honing my craft as a Tot Shabbat leader. She is a generous mentor, providing a wealth of resources and practical insights that I can immediately apply to my sessions. Her passion for Jewish music and education shines through in every interaction.
[Since learning with Emily] I’ve found my kiddos to become every more engaged in music class and I’m feel more confident in how I’m teaching, engaging, and connecting with my students. From the babies to the 5 year-olds, they have found both the joy in music and Judaism and I couldn’t ask for much more than that.

The first formal study of Tot Shabbat, in plain language. Families love it, nearly 9 in 10 are members or plan to join, and 65% of ordained leaders say they weren’t trained to lead it.
