About Me

Sheila Nesis Headshot

I’m a Cantor, singer and educator. Originally from Buenos Aires, Argentina, I've resided in the United States for the past 14 years. I now live in Portland, Maine with my husband and two children. I thrive on human connection, and love to work with couples and families in creating life cycle events and ceremonies that will bring meaning and joy to their lives.

You can also regularly find me at services at Congregation Etz Chaim in Portland as their Cantor in Residence, or teaching adults through The Center For Small Town Jewish Learning, or tutoring Bar/Bat Mitzvah students. You can learn more about me and listen to my recordings on my website. Additionally, I’m fluent in Spanish and can officiate a bilingual ceremony!
