For several months now, many chazonim gather monthly for chazonus workshops in local Crown Heights homes to sing, learn, teach and discuss chazonus, nusach and technique and be inspired by its meaningful nature.
In honor of Sefiras Haomer, instead of a workshop gathering, a sefira concert will be held at Beis Eliezer Yitzchok 394 Kingston Avenue on Monday, May 11 – 22nd of Iyar at 7:00 PM.
The featured Chazonim/Singers will be Moshe Adler, Shmuly Goldman, Yehuda Griffith, Mendy Hertz, Aryeh Leib Hurwitz, Levi Kaplan, Mendel Shagalov, Yosef Smatana, Zevi Steiger, Choni Titelbaum and Mendel Wolowic.
Artistic director will be David Babinet and the music and choral director is Yisroel Edelson.
The event is open to the public, for all to join, and involve themselves in this rich, unique art. There will be separate seats for men and women. There will be Chazonus as well as nostalgic Yiddish songs composed and sung by famous Chazonim and well known yiddish composers.
“The agenda is not only to hold a concert for entertainment purposes but also an opportunity so that Cantorial Music, its study, and the appreciation of it, can grow in our lives, circles and community,” said one of the organizers.
“For the sake of continuity of these events and to support the talented young men to study and educate themselves with a proper music and vocal education, we suggest a small donation of $10 from our participants. $36 from friends, $100 for sponsors.”
For additional information singing opportunities, vocal training, or sponsoring opportunities please call 718 772 3543.

AHD MOSAI….MOSHIACH NOW. !!!!!
I wish that Reb Yisroel Clapman of the Besht would be one of the חזנים.
Z looking fab
Finally a Sefira concert in CH!!
GO ZEVI!!!
David Babinet and Yitzchok Moully, special thank you for all your tireless work!
Having CDs is one thing making a concert??
there WILL be a women section!
it does say separate seating available
It is so great to see a new council that is empowering young Chazanim and giving a platform for future talent. It is a belated must.
Would have used a different font for the flyer however as the Rebbe was very against the letter “t” in that font.
I would love if Sruly Clapman could be one of the dingers
“seperate seating
As a child I would listen to recordings of the great chazonim, today I am an avid admirerer and lover of chazonus
As a women , I sometimes see the puzzled looks of my friends when I sayni am going early to the Great Synogogue in Yerushalayim, they seem surprised women appreciate chazonus . To me it’s not merely an artistic expression but the singing sanctified each word in Davening and makes it so special and unique
After all, the leviem in the Bais Hamikdosh sang
Ps I hope there will be a place for women tomorrow evening
