Robert Scherr
Hazzan Robert "Bob" Scherr (March 20, 1955 — ) is the current Jewish Chaplain of Williams College. Hazzan Scherr arrived in Williamstown in 2004 from a congregation in Natick, Massachusetts, where he served for more than 25 years. Outside of his Cantorial duties he is a regionally recognized bee keeper, a recreational cyclist and hunter, and brews his own beer and mead. His notable recipes include meatloaf, which he once made on Mount Greylock on a particularly snowy Mountain Day. Robert Scherr does not have frostbite.
He is a graduate of the University of California at Berkeley, where he majored in American history. On the Williams campus, he is most famed for his layning, bentching, and extensive collection of L'Cha Dodi melodies. If you are not familiar with this, simply understand that it is worth noting. Robert Scherr is married to Susie Scherr. M'amish besheret, m'amish.
When asked to comment for this article, Scherr placed his hands into his pockets and chuckled. He is still being pursued for further questions.
