A Cantor's Tale (2005)
Wonderful movie
I want to get this when DVD is available. I want my children to view this documentary and get a flavor for what the chazzanut were. Today's children don't see it. I myself was not exposed to it directly, although I heard chazzanut on records and in movies. This movie was well done, well presented and covered a lot of subjects within the topic. I am a soloist at a Reform synagogue, and I think it is very important to keep some of the old as well as bring in some of the new. This movie points out the reasons why. I would like to show this movie someday at our small synagogue as an education to the congregation, many of whom are interfaith and in someways not involved in the greater Jewish community. I think this would give the an appreciation for what these cantors brought to America. I wish I could have been a student of Jack Mendelson!
