CANTOR JUDY FOX began her show business career working in nightclubs, theatres and cabarets. She was Rodney Dangerfield's opening act at his New York City nightclub, as well as working with other comedians such as Dave Barry, Jack Carter and Jan Murray. She also brought her singing act to many of the popular hotels in New York's Catskills before relocating to Los Angeles.
After falling in love with cantorial liturgy, as well as with her husband, Cantor Herschel Fox, this diminutive singer with a big voice also became a cantor. "I discovered that I had an authentic sound similar to the age-old cantors," she says, and the late Jan Peerce called her "the greatest female cantor in the world." She has been cantor for the Synagogue For The Performing Arts for more than 20 years, bringing her magnificent voice and exquisite taste in music to the synagogue's High Holy Days and monthly Shabbat services.
Truly unforgettable as she performs her repertoire of cantorial, Yiddish, Broadway and contemporary music, she also continues to perform at events for Jewish organizations and special musical programs, occasionally joined by her husband who is the cantor for Congregation Valley Beth Shalom in Encino. They have two daughters who also are building their own reputations in the show business and religious communities.
