Cantor Josh Ehrlich is a composer, lyricist, arranger, multi-instrumental accompanist, music director, and the cantor at Congregation Agudath Israel in Caldwell, NJ. Having worked as the music director for Golda Och Academy, the Leffell School, and Camp Ramah in the Berkshires, he was most recently ordained through the H.L. Miller Cantorial School of the Jewish Theological Seminary. He has written nearly a thousand musical theatre orchestrations and a cappella arrangements for ensembles all over the New York area and in Israel. He made his Off-Broadway compositional debut in 2017 with The Imbible: Day Drinking, which enjoyed an open-ended run at New World Stages for three years. In 2021, the Cantors Assembly published The Choral Torah: Five Books in Four Parts, Ehrlich’s song cycle of fifty-four eclectic choral settings of biblical text (one for every Torah portion). He currently directs The Choral Torah Collective—which he co-founded with his wife, Leilah Rosen—an ensemble that sings this music and promotes musical and biblical literacy in communities across the country. www.joshehrlichmusic.com/choral-torah
