Cantor Stettner was the first and remains only cantor ever at the Stephen Wise Free Synagogue. Her musical leadership in prayer and liturgical music, along with her warmth and spiritual qualities have endeared her not only to the SWFS congregation but to many others throughout the country. She has introduced a broad range of music to tots, teenagers, and every other member of the congregation. She also serves as Vice President of the American Conference on Cantors and as a faculty member of the Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion.

A website designed especially to honor Cantor Stettner can be found at http://www.joyfulellen.org where there are several linked sites that enable you to hear her own voice, as well as vocal and print tributes from others.
