movements, the Cantor is also ordained (not with semichah though). They both go through formal training in schools designated for that purpose. Arguments took place just on this statement alone here, until some of you did the research yourselves and discovered that I was correct. As you will recall, some of you said that Rabbis and
Cantors were just lay-people. Well, Cantors yes and no. Yes, in that orthodox synagogues usually can't afford to pay the salary of a "professional" Cantor, who had seminary training, so they resort to lay-people from the congregation to act as prayer leaders, since many of them have the knowledge to lead themselves due to their Yeshivah background. No, in that the larger synagogues such as The Great Synagogue of Jerusalem, the Fifth Avenue Synagogue in NYC, Lincoln Square Synagogue, Kehillat Hillel of NY, Beth T'filoh Congregation of Baltimore, Beth El of Boro Park NY, etc...all have "Professional" Cantors. Rabbis are always ordained either with Orthodox Semicha, or simple "ordination" sometimes being granted the title of "Doctor of Divinity" as in the conservative and reform movements. Next, a rabbis job and a cantor's job may overlap in areas, but they are each responsible for their duties. The Rabbi in a congregation interprets matters of halacha, relating to life's occurrences. He also councils people, delivers sermons on Shabbat morning and holidays, and gives classes such as Talmud, Halacha, Bible, etc... The Professional Cantor is the other clergy member of the synagogue responsible for, besides the obvious prayer leading, adult education classes which may include classes on Halacha, correct "Nusach" used on various occasions, Bar Mitzvah teaching, officiating with the Rabbi at weddings and funerals, hebrew school teaching, sometimes working with a choir and doing pastoral duties like paying shivah visits to all the congregants who need it, visiting the sick, and being very high profile in the community. They are both very highly political and delicate positions, and it is very easy to say the wrong thing, or make the wrong decision, which may cost one his job. If a Rabbi makes a suggestion to a congregant, in a matter of Halachah for example, it may insult the congregant, and the synagogue might lose him as a member. Often both full-time clergy are expected to be at morning and evening minyan, every day. Part timers don't. Some Cantors cannot afford to just be a cantor, as the wages are half that of the rabbi, so they may teach or may have a business on the outside. These are part-times, who need the extra income to make a living. I hope this helps in understanding what a rabbi and cantor really do on a daily basis. If I can be of help with more info, feel free to ask me.-Merlin May 9, 2005

for the rest of the nation. In fact there was a whole ritual performed in the
Ancient Temple involving a Sair- a goat which was to be slaughtered for God, and a goat that was sent out into the wilderness- all to atone for the sins. The modern day Cantor takes the high priest's place, and on Yom Kippur, re-enacts this procedure in the liturgy called the Avodah of Yom Kippur -Silverman Siddur, p.368. He even prostrates himself to the ground which is not found in Judaism except for Musaf Rosh Hashanah and Musaf Yom Kippur services, during the Avodah service. Gentlemen, ask any professional Cantor. Yes you are correct in that intermediaries are considered idolatry in Judaism, so we don't pray to angels, saints, or to the chazzan for that matter. But the Chazzan's role is to be the "Shaliach Tzibbur" which means the "Messenger of the Congregation." For Yom Kippur he should even go to the mikvah to put himself in a state of purity. That is his role. I find it quite offensive for someone who knows little or nothing about Jewish practice to doubt and remove everything that I write, especially when I KNOW I AM CORRECT. If I am not knowledgeable about something, I will say so, and leave it to others. But something like this I know a tremendous amount about, and its built right into the liturgy in the Cantor's High Holiday Hineni prayer- Silverman Siddur p.124 "Behold in deep humility, I stand and plead before thee God on High... O hearken and give heed unto my prayer, though unworthy of my sacred task, though imperfect too, and filled with awe, I bow before thy holy presence, to CRAVE COMPASSION FOR MY ERRING FOLK. Their children send me as their voice, to supplocate thy pardon and thy grace to ask mercy... condemn Thou not my people for my faults, consider but their virtues Riteous Judge. Forgive us our iniquities...." Later on the Cantor says again a supplocation on page 156 asking "inspire the lips of those who have been appointed by Thy people (the cantor), the house of Israel to stand in prayer before Thee to beseech Thee and SUPPLOCATE THY PRESENCE FOR THEM..." It's talking about the Cantor's awesome job which is before him, basically to convince God to forgive the entire congregation.-Merlin
360:"all correct". Granting a diploma is very different from ordination. They may be giving "degrees in chazanut", but they're not "ordaining" them. Also, none of these schools convey titles at all, much less the made-up title "Reverend Cantor". JTS grants a degree in chazanut, and calls the person "chazan", just like MIT grants a degree in engineering and calls the person "engineer". Of course a cantor is supposed to be more than just another singer: he's supposed to be a musically talented shatz. Everything you list in the sentence starting with "He studies..." applies to EVERY Jewish man, it is not a list of special requirements for chazanim. Nusach categorically does not mean "chant", nor is a chazan a teacher of Jewish law. The cantor does NOT become "the High Priest" anytime, and never acts as an intermediary between between God and the congregation. Judaism, in fact, specifically
646:"minister-reader," both sharing the conduct of the weekly and Sabbath services and the reading of the Torah. In England, France, and Germany the wearing of canonicals was obligatory, while in France the organizational aspects of the rabbinate was largely determined by the Consistory. Nevertheless there are general lines of similarity which applied equally to all. Preaching, of course in the vernacular, occupied a place of prime importance, out of all proportion to the old-fashioned rabbi who generally limited his public discourses to two halakhic-aggadic addresses per year (see Preaching)....Above all he was looked to as the spokesman of the Jewish community to the larger community, though the extent of this participation varied in different countries, being most extensive in the United States. The influence of the larger denominations, particularly the Protestant Church, was marked.

prayer leader, cantor) does have a detailed formal role in the Jewish codes of law. I guess you can say that the hazzan is a person hired to be a formal shaliach tzibbur. In the times I have served as a shaliach tzibuur, I did so as a lay person, informally, and the Jewish codes of law guided how I helped lead parts of the service. If I were formnally hired by a synagogue as their cantor, I just have to keep in accord with the same set of laws. There's nothing else to follow now that I would be real hazzan. It would be liker hiring an accountant, or a painter. There's no extra religious rules or significance, and the hazzan has no extra power or authority. He's just like a layperson. In contrast, the rabbi does have a few legal differences with laypeople, in that he or she has the ability and authority to decide questions of Jewish law.

most schools is
Reverend Cantor. JTS grants the title "Hazzan," and "Cantorial Soloist." A Cantor is supposed to be more than just another singer. He studies for many years regarding the laws and customs of being a leader in the Jewish community, leading the service which includes prayer chants, biblical Torah reading, and Megillah chants, musical modes of the service, the meanings of the words, and at least in Orthodox circles, he is observant in keeping with the traditions of Jewish law. He is a teacher of "Nusach" (chant), and Jewish law as well. The cantor becomes the "High Priest" on Yom Kippur, acting as the intermediary between God and the congregation (this is his purpose).

are united in one roof organization, the rabbi tended more and more to become a local congregational functionary, the chief rabbi alone representing the community as a whole both in religious matters and vis-B-vis the non-Jewish world. In the United States (see below) and Canada, where the tendency is for each congregation to be an independent unit, his sphere of activities was much wider. In the United States, Canada, and
England, and in other countries where yeshivah education developed, a return to the old conception of the classic Eastern European rabbi in appearance, outlook, and function is apparent within limited pockets of strict Orthodox Judaism.

restricted to chazanim, which you seem to be implying now. As for whether or not the chazan should go to the miqva before y"k, that's irrelevant.

I wish to suggest an clarification: The Shataz does say the words, above, which imply that he is an intermediary between man and God.

I don't understand why anyone today would use the term "Reverend Cantor" for any Jewish cantor/hazzan. From my upbringing I know that a few Modern

Some schools DO "ordain" their Cantors, as in the case of JTS. The RRC and (possibly) HUC trained Cantors do not receive an ordination, they receive "Cantorial Investiture" I suppose the argument can be made that investiture and ordination are analogous, but there are some sweeping generalizations
535:
So, now I know next to nothing about Judaism. Are you taking back your claim that the chazan is an intercessor or not? Shatz is a prayer leader, speaking on behalf of the community, who, if ignorant of the prayers, responds with "amen". The chazan's role is as shatz, but the role of shatz is not

OK, I know I was not crazy. Here it is written in the book "The Cantor An Historic Perspective" put out by Yeshiva University, 1972 Author- Leo Landman. Page 78 on the bottom is talking about Hazzanim officiating at marriages; in 1830, synagogues "having to recognize someone as a minister. Again,

Merlin, with all due respect, the lecture you just delivered demonstrates that you simply don't understand what caused this whole firestorm to begin with. "Reverend Cantor" is not a widely used title for chazanim, in fact, it's very rarely used, and, from your "evidence", never by Jews. That was

This is not correct. I checked with the President of the organization, and the cantorial membership roster of The Jewish Ministers Cantors Association have some 200 names on it, all with the titles Reverend or Cantor (he made it clear it was the Cantor's preference.) JTS uses Hazzan as the title.

NONE of this is even remotely relevant to this article!!! It's becoming increasingly (and painfully) obvious that the entire discussion is a result of the simple and pathetic fact that MerlinZor has an ax to grind or a bone to pick (although with what, exactly isn't entirely clear just yet...).
301:
The hazzan as a formal employee of a synagogue, or the hazzan as a formal profession, has little discussion in the traditional codes of Jewish law. It was usually assumed that the job would be done by lay-people only. However, the role of the shaliach tzibur (emissary of the congregation, i.e.

What about the issue of non-Jewish cantors? Years ago my synagogue used to employ a very talented Gentile cantor. Would mention of non-Jewish cantors best fit under "Qualifications", "Complaints against hazzanim", or "Cantors as a profession"? I realize this is a complicated
842:, as that was my Reform experience (but definitely not part of my later Conservative experience). So rather than the "left wing of the Reform movement", I wonder if it's more that the Reform movement considers cantors primarily (professional) singers, and not clergy.--
924:
I really think it should be Hazan or Chazan, without the double Z. If you look at the Hebrew, or even the pronunciation guide (being ), it's clear that the first sound does not end with a 'z'; I understand that this means that we would not use a double consonant.

Irrelevant. The title "reverend", if conferred upon some rabanim and chazanim by their congregations, is not even remotely universal in Judaism. Your two isolated examples do not a convincing argument make.
