Chazzan

A Chazzan, also known as a cantor, is a person who leads Jewish community prayers through song and vocal performance. Their role is to elevate the worship experience by voicing traditional prayers, often with melodic nuance and skill. Chazzans may serve in synagogues during services, especially during special occasions, and are sometimes responsible for teaching or guiding congregational singing. Their work combines musical talent with deep knowledge of liturgy and tradition, helping to foster spiritual connection and communal unity through prayer and song.
