Cantor Penny Kessler, the senior clergy and spiritual leader at the United Jewish Center in Danbury, has announced her retirement. Kessler has been leading the prayers at UJC for 28 years. It was back in 1978 when Kessler and her husband relocated from her original home in Brooklyn, to Danbury, where her spouse planned to open his dental practice. She worked as a secretary for a while and then in her husband’s dental office. She also raised three children as she planned on becoming a dental hygienist. Then one day she was given the opportunity to fill in for the cantor, and realized she had the knack. She started at UJC in July 1995 and never looked back.
