Meet our High Holiday Cantor

We are excited to welcome Erez Cohen back as our Chazzan for the High Holidays. Erez is a pop singer-songwriter originally from Brooklyn, New York. He has been a chazan on the Upper West Side of New York for several years, has sung for countless chuppahs for Jews of all different backgrounds, and has toured the world with The Maccabeats.
Musical Preview. If you haven't yet stocked up on Apples and Honey, or if you want to preview (pre-listen?) our awesome chazan's awesome way with a tune, now is your chance to do both at once. For a tasty bite (sound bite, that is) of Erez's music, click here for a Chanukah song.
