The Cantor's Voice

Prayer, sung so it can be felt

Whether it is the awe of the Yamim Noraim or a single Kabbalat Shabbat, David leads prayer that carries a congregation — rooted in nusach, warmed by a lifetime on the concert stage, and always given the time it needs to mean something.

01

High Holidays & Shabbat

From the Avodah of Yom Kippur to a Kabbalat Shabbat that lingers, David leads services steeped in the traditional prayer modes — the nusach he learned across twenty years with Cantor Noah Schall.

02

Guest cantor & concerts

Available for guest appearances, cantorial concerts and simchas in Israel and abroad, with a repertoire that moves from classical chazzanut to Yiddish, Hassidic and Israeli song.

03

A composer's liturgy

More than a thousand original settings of the Shabbat and Holiday liturgy — Sim Shalom, Oseh Shalom and more — alongside the Jewish-jazz album Time for Moshiach.

04

Chazanut.org & Mizmor L'David

Founder of the Official Site of Chazanut and conductor of the Mizmor L'David choir, David supports world-renowned hazzanim at events across Israel and helps a new generation learn the craft.

If you feel God deeply, and express it through your interpretation of the prayers, the congregation will feel it too.

Prayer, the way it's meant to sound

A handful from the hundreds of cantorial pieces David has recorded — Shabbat, the Yamim Noraim, and the melodies in between.

Chazanut.org — the art of the hazzan

David founded the Official Site of Chazanut in 2020, and has since produced over a hundred instructional videos helping hazzanim worldwide learn nusach and the great cantorial works — including the final Shabbat compositions of his teacher, Noah Schall.
