Biographical:
Rachelle Nelson is a musician, composer, and cantor at Temple Beth Am in Miami. Born and raised on Miami Beach, she is a graduate of Miami Beach Senior High, where her musical talents began to flower. She discusses the challenges of being among the first female cantors in Florida, and racial discord while a student at Beach High. She is the niece of famed Miami Beach based impresario Judy Drucker.
