MUSIC OF THE ADATH

Throughout the history of the ADATH, our Shul has also been a centre for beautiful and uplifting music. Some of the besk known cantors of our generation served the congregation, names like Binjamin Hess ז"ל, Yaacov Motzen, and others. In recent years, Cantors Avraham Sultan and Josh Orzech expanded the repertoire of the Adath to include contemporary and modern melodies, which encouraged the congregation to join in with the singing.

Cantor Shmuel Levin endeavours to combine both worlds - traditional Chazzanut, and more modern sing-along compositions.

The music below will help our congregants become familiar with our old tunes, and the new ones introduced by Cantor Levin. Please listen to them, and we hope you will enjoy. And when the time comes, please join us in singing together as part of our services and prayers to Hashem.
