Learning to Chant Torah

Cantor Ed Gerber has let us know that several adult members of Ohr Kodesh have begin learning to chant Torah under his careful instruction. What a wonderful skill to learn, and what a terrific way to honor Rabbi Fishman as part of Pledge 25!

Cantor Gerber has let us know that he'd be happy to teach others who have an interest. You can reach him at Cantor@ohrkodesh.org

  1. I have truly enjoyed learning how to chant Torah with Cantor Gerber. He is a patient and amusing teacher. I recommend it to anyone who enjoys singing.

  2. On Rosh Hashanah, when Bryan Israel gave us the pledge 25 challenge to honor Rabbi Fishman, my daughter leaned over and whispered to me, "you should really learn to read Torah for my Bat Mitzvah." I started lessons with Cantor Gerber this fall, and he is a terrific teacher. I am enjoying the challenge of learning the Trope and think that I just might be ready to read one Aliyah by February. Thanks for providing the challenge...and thank you to Cantor Gerber for his inspiration and patience.
