Judaism is not meant to be an isolated performance on the bimah. It is meant to be experienced together.

"My calling is to deepen the spiritual experience of those around me — whether through my voice, my teaching, or my presence as a trusted guide."
Cantor Jenna Sagan is a certified hazzan through the Cantors Assembly. She studied education at Hebrew Union College–Jewish Institute of Religion and holds a degree in theater from UCLA. Her background in music, performance, and Jewish learning informs a contemporary approach to prayer that remains grounded in tradition.
As Senior Cantor and Kol Bo at Congregation B’nai Tzedek, Jenna leads worship and education for all ages. She focuses on lifecycle events including B’nai Mitzvah, weddings, conversions, and funerals, where music and spirituality come together in a meaningful way. She is also an active member of the Greater Huntington Beach Interfaith Council, representing Jewish voices in regional dialogue and understanding.

"Cantor Sagan turned our daughter's Bat Mitzvah into something she will talk about for the rest of her life. Not just the day — the whole journey getting there."
"I came to her Introduction to Judaism class knowing almost nothing. She made every question feel like the right question."
"When we lost my mother, Cantor Sagan led a memorial that felt like she had known her. She held our family with such grace."
