Lexi Weakley is extremely passionate about all aspects of Jewish music, education and leadership, as she has worked in the temple setting since age 13. Growing up in Los Angeles, CA, she worked as a cantorial substitute and religious school songleader at Temple Judea in Tarzana, CA. Lexi moved to Boston to attend Berklee College of Music in 2018, where she earned a Bachelor’s of Music in Songwriting and Musical Theater Writing. While in school, she worked at Temple Shir Tikva in Wayland, MA, as the head songleader at the religious school and cantorial substitute on Kabbalat Shabbat Services. While at Temple Shir Tikva, she created a brand new T’filah program for ages 4-13, coordinated a teen “Jewish Jam Band” for ages 13-17, led the temple youth choir for ages 7-12, and built a repertoire of her original Jewish compositions that congregants of all ages have adopted as their own melodies. Lexi has also been a part of the larger Jewish music scene with her original Jewish compositions, which have featured on Jewish Rock Radio for years. She was a finalist and winner in the Jewish Rock Radio National Talent Search and has led many workshops on songleading techniques and Jewish songwriting. She is thrilled to be joining the LT community and looks forward to connecting with all of you!
